Think that's about right. E/F reg was a change year for much of the interior to the dash and seating that ran to the end. The rear seats persisted in the commercials after that date.
If swapping from old to new the side brackets are different and further back when putting them in a two door.
Of you want some photos of mine for reference just shout.

Detachable rear headrests added (four-door only) August 1982. (front std from Sept '79)
Rear seat with integral rear headrests and one-third / two-thirds split (four-door only) November 1986. Numerous other changes at the same time, ie. fuel injection std. on four-door, grille change, fixed rear no. plate plus numerous others.
Eta.
A different source states rear headrest fitted to InVogue four-door from Aug '82, fitted to Vogue on '85 models and optional on others. Integral rear headrests Nov '86 four-door.

So my donor 91 rhd has the high back rear seats (4 door) the late 2 door has the separate fit rear headrests. I’ve got all the high back rear seats fittings so I’m now assuming these need to be removed and fitted to the 2 door before I can fit the high back rear seat?If swapping from old to new the side brackets are different and further back when putting them in a two door.

I’m just getting ready before I scrap something I need

Also I’m wondering, I will have a rear bench with separate fit headrests and a pair of vogue se front electric seats (4 door).
To raise a few pennies for this project I’m thinking to reupholster these seats to sell on as a matching set. Would these be of possible interest to anyone? I can do custom or original design in brand new leather

Rob, you're asking me to think back more than yesterday!! I’m just getting ready before I scrap something I need
Early 2 doors had the latch brackets that are attached to the side of the car further forward and were a different design. The 90s commercial 2 doors had the same type of bench rear seat and I believe still used the older latching mechanism but I can't recall for sure. The key is whether your two door has the push to release mechanism same as your donor 91 4 door?
The early two door rear seats were released via a lever in the centre of the seat itself. Is there a centre mechanism on yours?

This failed to sell yesterday reaching a highest bid of 61500 euros, it seems they want a lot more.

At the Ideal Home Show yesterday as Mrs Clapham wants some new garden furniture
Managed to avoid dropping the thick end of £10k on some uncomfortable garden sofas we'll use half a dozen times a year but did pick this up for my study;

I'm working on identifying the Huntress, meanwhile, since I need a tow vehicle for a Huntress, I think I might buy a Range Rover Classic and recreate that pic. It'll have to be a 4dr as we'd never get granny in and out of the back of a 2dr and she'd complain in the boot!
No real sound deadening in a 2 door so you probably wouldn't hear the complaints for the boot. Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
