Greetings from Colorado,

 

 

Speaking of seats I just returned from a 3,400 mile trip through the western
states in my 87 560 SEC with 290,000 miles.  

 

I met Shin in LA and reviewed several of his cars, great collection!!  Also
Shin gave me a thrill ride in his 56 W 198 Gull Wing. Amazing!!! 

 

My mileage was 19 MPG at over the speed limit and used 2 quarts of oil.  Not
bad results, however my ass is just recovering.  

 

It seems that the miles have taken its toll on the seat support and the
leather.

 

What is the best source for new seat covers front and rear? 

 

Thanks,

Mike Beyersdoerfer

More patience actually.  I've done this to SEC seats already and started on
an SEL.

I will be doing the same soon, as even the early gen2 seats aren't the same
as the later ones.  Anyhow, ifyou remove the 6 screws holding the "base" to
the seats, you can just swap that over.  4 of the screws are easy/obvious to
see, one at each corner.  However, the final 2 are in the middle and you
have to get the seat track lined up just so to access them.

 

Best of luck,

Markus Meyer

Hi Everybody again!
 
Ok - here's my next challenge and question!
 
I'm in the process of changing my interior from the early style to late
style - which also has the orthopaedic option. 
I've changed the vacuum pump, plumbed in all the air lines to the front
seats, and i''ve fitted the drivers seat which is fully operational -
Hurrah!!
 
Now comes the next challenge!!
 
For some reason the replacement passenger seat is a non-memory seat, unlike
my current seat - hence the multi-plug is very different
 
I presently have both seats upside down sitting on the kitchen table (much
to my wife's bemusement!!) ready to operate. The way i'm looking at it is
that i have to change the bases over including the motors from the back rest
& head rest as well.
 
My question/s is this....
 

1.	What is my best option to get the replacement seat with the memory
seat opton fitted? - is it best to remove the whole lower base - or transfer
the electrics over instead?  
2.	If the best option is to remove the lower base of the seat - which
is the best way to do it?

 
 
Thanks
 
Jon
