How hard was it to upfit the passenger bucket with the recliner mechanism? Any pics or advice? I have one to use in my 2+2, but it does not look like an obvious fit-up project.

I'm sure there are a few tricks and it all goes together - wondering how it went for you.

Thanks!

Hey, yes I have many pix and since I've done this twice now (first time in the 80s on my GTO) got pretty intimate with the process

First time I only had the seat back, this time I had an entire donor seat. I retrofitted the recliner parts into my exiting seat both times. I'll say the most difficult part was removing the seat back hinges from the non-recliner seat frame as they are spot welded from the factory. Interesting that the reclining seat hinges are bolted to the frame and both seat frames have existing holes so once you carefully remove the hinges as to not destroy the frame the hinges bolt in.

If you're on the Facebook, you can see my detailed post on my garage page, look for my Feb 2022 posts.
