Default Seats for AU Ute

Having difficulty shopping for new seats.
What are my model choices for a easy install of
Seats into a 2001 AU II Tickford Ute.
Thank you for any advice

Hi tvgirl, your choices are series 2/3 Faimont, Fairlane, XR or standard low series seats. Don't put in series 1 seats as they don't have the electrical connector like series 2/3. Have a look on Ebay or Gumtree for prices & availability. Good luck!

cheer's, Maka

I'm in the same boat. Won't they need to have adjustable backs so the seats can flip forwards?

the Ute seats have a lever on the side to allow it to flip forward easily.

Hi tvgirl, this guy here will definitely look after you, PJ is a top bloke & quite possibly knows more about AU's than anyone lol! He's been breaking / wrecking AU's for a while now, he always looks after fellow AFF members without fail (me included) lol! All the best & good luck!

cheer's, Maka
