Title: driver's seat
Post by bobtheyop on Apr 5^th, 2005, 9:51pm

hello people,

can anybody help? the driver's seat in my spare 12v doesn't tilt back and forth.
the motor works because i can hear it , also it's got heater switches which my cloth ones haven't.
would it be possible to swap heated seats for non heated seats and are there diagrams on the site to show the workings of the seats.
i've decided to swap my cloth for the leather ones which do look cool.not exactly sure about the feeling on a hot summer's day!

regards,
bob. ???

All is possible, the seats just unbolt if my memory is correct there are two at the front and three at the back. If you put heated seats into a car with out them you will require the additional peice of loom and the relay and switches for the centre consul. Othwise it really is straight forward.
Be aware of the fact that the drivers seat if it has FULL electrical control is EXTREMELY heavy may need two people to get it into place .

thanks snoopy,

this will be my project for the next month,i'm not going to rush it,do i need to disconnect the battery?
and i'll have a go at solving the tilt problem.
it would look a lot better with the leather set.

cheers,

Hi Bobtheyop,
when I changed my cloth seats for leather I did disconnect the battery for safety as it stops the pyrotecnics for the pretensioners going off, I recall reading this some where I think ???

Hope this is of help
Cheers
