My 68 XR7 has incorrect 69 seats with headrests. Whenever nugget gold leather upholstery kits become available I’d like to go ahead and correct this little discrepancy. I’d like to keep the 69 frames and headrests if possible. Any thoughts on whether or not this will work?
I think that you will have to change out the seat buns (foam) to make this work. Don Rush is probably the best source as I know he has spent a lot of time researching this.
I think (or thought) that the seat bottoms were all the same and the backs were similar except for the headrest accomodations in 69. Will of course defer to those who have done research on this but think I am correct on this.
That’s good news as I plan to replace the seat foam anyway. Even if I have to modify the new seat covers, I’d also like to keep the headrests since they are in great shape. Still praying and making burnt offerings to the cougar powers that be to deliver unto us xr7 upholstery in leather.
