I'll try to get some measurements tomorrow as I have both as well if I'm up to the task.
You have me thinking & hoping this isn't the case.
I made it to the shop today - here are some pics. I tried to show where I measured from, but it was a challenge to get accurate pics. Hope this helps.
Ross, that is great, thanks so much for taking the time to help out.
My pleasure!
I made measurement between the manual and the power bucket seats. The power seat at its lowest setting is 3/4 higher in the front and 1/2 higher in the rear. I doubt if I even notice the height difference.
I also measured the power seat at it highest point. The front will go up another 1-1/2" and the back 1" My wife, at its highest setting, might be able to see the hood ornament now.
Thanks everyone for your help on this panel project. Ross your pictures and measurements were crucial. I made one cut everything slightly smaller put it in place made adjustments, very happy with the results.
Wow - excellent!!

What did you use to make the cuts, Mike? They look factory.
Thanks. I laid masking tape down and marked off the area until everything looked right. I used a dremel cutting wheel, free hand, to make my cuts, and rough in the radius cut. I then used various files to adjust until everything was square and the radius cut was proportional.
It really didn't take as long as I thought, the aluminum really cuts and files easily.

Looks great!

I was thinking more of the seat frame difference between the factory power using and the not power unit seat. Not so much about the power unit itself.

Mighty fine!
The seat bolted right up in the same location as the manual. There was an extra set of nuts on the seat, but I used the same ones as the manual.

I have a feeling this thread will stay active for quite some time...
Especially if you and I keep responding!
He may be referring to my recent purchase from him, a power base for the passenger side.I have a feeling this thread will stay active for quite some time...
Ahh... well, I'm in the same boat (pun entirely intended), as I will be going through my power bucket setups from my 66 Monaco very soon.
Well I thought I had the last piece of the puzzle, the seat base panels, to install my power seat back in Goldie. It finally hit me that I actually have the passenger controller.
Talking with Murray who I got the panels from, he had mentioned that the right controller has an R on the cardboard. I haven't checked it yet but I know I've got the passenger controller . I mounted mine upside down to get the front back correct, but the other controls are opposite.
Here here comes my perfect timing @detmatt just so happens to have a few power bases I'm getting one from him, for the passenger seat and now I will be getting the controller for the driver side.
