In theory its possible i suppose to get the frame from the electric seat and get it onto the other seat, but it would be very very difficult, the electirc seats especially with the heaters are a nightmare to work with, it might be easier to get a full electric seat than taking it apart

steve_earwig has stripped them in the past when he replaced the heated seat elements so it is possible.
