Rear bench will be exactly the same for fitting, don't know if you can fit the back rest though.

On a saloon, the back rest mounts by 3 hangers along the top, and 3 bolts under the rear bench.

I have non-split seats in mine.

So long as you got the support bar that runs horozontally across the rear, about half way up, the stiff plastic sheet that goes under it and the padded sheet that goes over it, just remove the split fold mechanism and bolt it all up.

Mounting points are the same.

DON'T try to do it without the support bar...........

Yours is a saloon though Jeff, OP has a wagon so far as I can tell from the title.

Didn't pick up on that, I didn't know wagons had 60/40 split fold.

In that case, I don't think it can be done, sorry.

it can be done but not easy as u need to strip the metal plates off your original backs and also some modding required for new backs to get it to be safe
I'd reccomend just finding an sti wagon back rest be a lot eassier

got sti new age seats in my 4 door classic, used ply to make rear support.

Metal support bars are not impossible to find

Easy peasy to make too, as its just a metal square tube.

In that case, back to my post, yes it can be done and it's easy if you have the correct bits.
