    You cant, they are manuals. You would need to cut and weld a bunch. You need a set of powers. The powers have detachable bases.

        That is a variation of the Recaro LX. Main difference is the lower bolster foam but IIRC you can update them with the newer foam which i think gives them a better less bloated look. Kind of a mix between these two seats..

            Check these out! Actually going up for sale (PM offers until post goes up in classifieds) Discoloration from shotty wipe down, still a little moist in areas. I still need to go over them real good and make them shine like new

                Sounds good, if you just look over that guide it should be pretty easy for you

                  Hey Recaro-fiends, I am picking up a set of Recaros out of a late w201/190e on Monday out of a junkyard car. They are Awesome, they look like new. Just wondering if anyone knew what model they were? I want them in my Touring yesterday. Form memory, they look a bit like the LS's, and the fabric looks like the 'Blue Monza' I just saw while scrolling through the (whole) thread.

                  Any ideas??

                    Bringing these back from the depths, Anyone have any info on these? They look like a set I saw for sale on Craigslist and I'm contemplating picking them up to temporarily replace my comfort seats.

                          i can get the model if I look hard enough......BUT.......unless you are like 5 ft 7 or so...and have a 32 waist.....pass!....they are a small seat (if my memory serves).. I sold them in the late 70s....
                          I love sitting down and just driving!
