I know how to weld pretty well with my miller auto feed. At least better than most 18 year olds.

^ hey did anybody buy that $200 comfort vinyl back seat yet???

Nope. Why, you need one?

I moved it to my friends shop because it kept getting in my way..

Anybody know if e36 fuse holders will work in e30?
I'm contemplating ordering an oem e36 heated seat wiring harness to go with my e36 vaders and oem vader Heat pads... Or I order the harness and wire it into something else, but it would be cool if I could do it the oem way...

Edit: the oem way to retrofit the e36 harness involves taking apart the fuse and relay box to add in the fuse in the box so it's like it came that at from factory.

Da waht? They are all the standard automotive fuse.

You can use any aftermarket fuse holder you want - just be weary that you dealing with a item that could set your car on fire if something goes wrong. And a fuse won't protect you from the circuit going haywire. I wouldn't trust that job is a stereo installer kinda of guy - find a buddy that know about car electronics? Heck, I want to install heated seat into my car, but I wouldn't do it with out 2 or even 4 safety systems in place. Like 2 relays (incase one gets spot welded) and a thermo cut off. One being electrical, and another a thermal fuse or something.

I'm trying to think out the way to do it the OEM way, I know I could easily run power from my amp in the trunk or something, with a 10a or whatever the fuse should be in a freestanding fuse holder. That's probably what I'll do. I'll be using OEM heaters and the whole retrofit harness, again, all BMW parts. If BMW didn't think it was a fire hazard in the e36 M3, I don't think I'll have a huge problem I figure all it needs is power and ground, along with a illumination wire for the switches to be backlit.

Only part I'm not looking forward to is installing the mats in my seats
