I don't think so Dougie - the seat rail spacing for the '65-'73 cars is wider than that for the '74-on models.

You'd have to cut/reweld the crossbars.

Hi,

In case a picture helps?
The spacing is different as is the number of fixings

Thanks for that Alan.
Do you think the cross rails could be adapted,or would it be easier to fabricate from scratch?
I need the cross rails to suit seats with lightweight sliders.

Hi Dougie,

Don't know if it is any help, but these are the brackets I made to fit the sliders in my '68
