leccy seats

[paulandsusan]

hi does anyone know if the electrics that move your seats can be used on manual seats cos my driver seat is covered in tab burns but my local scrappy has 2 4o6 s in with good seats but they are manual and he is cheap as chips so it would really improve my interior for next to nothing thanks

You mean put manual seats in place of leccy ones? I am sure it's possible to replace the metal frame of the seats.

Most people here convert manual to electric ones with relative ease and it's documented quite well on these forums.

When I said "convert", I mean literally replace the manual seats (WHOLE seats) with electric ones. Requires some cable hacking... You are attempting to change the upholstery(?) on the electric seats with the ones from the manual ones. Not sure if this has been done here... but I am sure it's possible

will have to investigate further gonna go to scrapyard take out a manual seat and see what sort of dog its gonna be if it looks nasty then i'll hang out for some decent leccy ones to do a straight swap will keep you informed ta
