Contour SVT seats in a focus.... possible?

[mikebontoft]

yup no doubt......think the first thing I'll do is get that rear bench in, then I'll try the passenger seat.

That indeed may be a bit more complicated since I dunno if the connections match up, but I'm sure once again (LOL) that there is a way if they don't fit. You told that they were 60/40 right ?? Hope it's the same 60/40 as in a Fofo, that would already solve half of the problem.

[mikebontoft]

yeah I dunno which way the 60/40 is, but if you look at the first picture that i took, it has the same knobs and cable connections as the sedan does that's gotta count for something lol.

I think you're in the money buddy, those seats fold the same way as the hatch meaning 60 behind driver, 40 behind passanger. Now with a bit of luck those mounting points are exactly the same and that should count for the rear seat too. Just remember, if they are too large, look if you can narrow them by slightly modifying the sides equally. Keep me posted.
See ya,
Paul.

Alright, well I guess all I can do is hope for the best... and when I don't get it, make it the best

I know you can pull this off. Go get those seats and I will assist in helping out. Too bad I'm not closer I would've offered to give you a hand with it. These things are sometimes not as obvious as they look. If you get stuck or have any questions PM me so I get notified as soon I log on.

Will do.......thank you

I wonder if CSVT seats are heated. LOL probably not. oh well

Well I've been to Canada before too. I liked it LOL. AH I just found out that I'm going to a dinner thing out in the mountains wednesday at 6. I gotta get up early, get to the bank, and get working on removing all that stuff!!

You're asking a very good question here and I think they just might have the heating, and maybe electric adjusting too. When you go get them, look under the seat for a plug (big black square box) and unplug the seat, once the seat is out, cut off the box in the bottom of the car, leaving some wiring to work with (for reconnection). Check under your font seats of the Fofo and see if you have a box there if so you might be able to make this all work, I know I have one but no heating or adjusting, only have the cloth seat.

[mikebontoft]

yeah I've had my seats out before to paint the carpet (LOL) and I forgot to plug that big box in..... I had a chime about every 5 seconds for a few days. that was annoying

I SO did not think of that, cutting the box/harness from the contour and just cutting it off of my focus and splicing them together..... I was gonna try to do some other weird thing that I don't even want to explain (think permanent wiring. LOL)

I'm in Quebec (Eastern part of Canada, between Montreal and Quebec City). It's ok here but not much going on LOL. Peeps in Focus Club Quebec are not all that involved as the FF members that's why I hang out here ;)
We have our yearly meet coming up on sep 5th at the Villeneuve F1 track in Montreal, I'll def post some pics. Check out with my profile if you like, there are a few fotoshoot's I posted about some cars and G2G's
