Neon Rear Seat install

New postby ihscomputers » Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:17 pm

Need advice from anyone who has installed Dodge Neon rear seats in a LM vert.

Can you tell me specifically how you modified the bottom seat to fit?

I have already mounted the top of the rear seat.

Thanks...Dean

Received some guidance from Darren in Colorado: Just cut the hog-rings, peel back the upholstery, then cut off the ends including the wire frame.

It worked just fine. Started with a sawzall then switched to a hacksaw which allowed more control over the process.

Tomorrow, I will fashion some brackets to hold it in place and "voila", the rear Neon seats will be finished! :cool:

I will post some photos when it's finished.

In the meantime, I created a Neon Bucket Seat Installation Guide with photos:

Finally finished installing the Neon Rear Seats. The red arrow indicates where the Inertia switch will be mounted for the electric fuel pump:
