    Posted: Jul/28/2014 at 3:36pm
I'm on the hunt for original buckets and tracks for my 72 Gremlin. I have neither currently.    From what I've learned on the forum , Eagle and Pacer  and Javelin tracks won't fit existing holes in the Gremlin floor. I've located some 83 Spirit vinyl buckets and would like to know if these bolt in directly to the Gremlin floor?

Thanks, folks!

Any Spirit owners out there that might  take a few measurements of your high back buckets/ tracks for me, please?  Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.
I'd like to know how wide seat cushion is, and if juts out above the center hump at all.
And, distance between the bolts that attach the tracks to the floor, across the front.
Also, do the tracks sit flush on the carpet or are they raised above it?

Thanks very much!

    Seat cushion is 24ish" and the studs come through at 12 1/2" across the front. No, the track is raised above the carpet. The cushion slightly overhangs the trans. tunnel. These are original never reupholstered.

    Did your Gremlin have buckets or a bench? I redid a '76 Gremlin that had a bench and I did notice there is dimples for bucket seats.

My Gremlin has non-AMC seats and tracks.  I'm sure I'm sitting up higher than I should be, and leaning back too far. Driving posture is not the best. When I redid the carpet I noticed extra holes in the floor from original seats.

    The release for reclining is outboard at the hinge of the seat.
