Eagle Seat Interchange
There were several different styles of seats offered in Eagles. This topic will show the different styles, and discuss interchange between cars. Photos will be added at a later date. This topic will NOT discuss putting in seats from other vehicles, such as Jeep Cherokees, since each case is unique.
The information presented here is based on what I have found on Eagles I have owned over
the years, or was derived from dealer brochures, etc.
Sport seats. These were high-back bucket seats. They were found only in the Series 50 cars, i.e., SX-4 and Kammback. Since they were used in 2 door cars, they tilt forward to allow access to the rear seat. Keep this in mind if you are planning on putting other seats in these cars.

Wide-body seats: These were standard in the Series 30 cars, i.e., the 2-door Coupe, 4-door Sedan, and Wagon. They were available in cloth or leather, and Power or non-Power operated. The seats in the 2-door Coupe also tilt forward to allow rear seat access.

The Sport seats and the wide body seats all used 5 mounting studs that went thru the floor pan. One corner mount had 2 studs; the other corners had 1 stud. There are rectangular reinforcing plates on the bottom of the floor pan, one for each stud.
The Power seat mounts used 4 studs, one in each corner. The double stud mount was eliminated due to the design of the power seat base.
