I’m wondering if anyone knows what seats might be compatible with the tracks in a 1963 C205? Early 206’s almost certainly would be compatible (guessing), does anyone know what years will/won’t work? Would 210’s? 182’s? I’m trying to replace the front 4 seats and hoping to have more options than just 205’s.

I may be mistaken (happened once in 1966) but I think most if not all Cessna early seat rails (till you start talking jets, very late model airplanes and the Caravan) are the same with the same spacing. So, I suspect most any seats from earlier planes should work.

In my '66 P206, the center row of seats are spaced wider then the front. Is the 205 the same?

mtv is correct.

BTW, I still have some center and rear seats for a 1963 C-205. PM or email me if you are interested and I'll double check which ones I have.

Thanks guys. I’m actually yet to pick it up but I’ll measure them out and report back for the collective knowledge. It would be cool to be able to have options.

The Pilot and Co Pilot seat tracks are narrower than the middle Row.

Front row you Anything from a 172 through a 207 will fit.
Middle row 205,206,207 will fit
Rear seats are I think unique to the 205 but possibly a P206 would work I'm just not sure on those.

Good luck
