Seat back swap?
I have power comfort seats in my '89. I miss center armrests. I picked up a pair of e23 seats. Wondering if anyone has swapped seatback frames before? My leather is good and the seats look about the same size. I'll strip them soon. Maybe just weld the e23 armrest mounts into the e24 seat backs?

Re: Seat back swap?
The stitching will be different between e23 and e24. They can be swapped but you can also remove the arm rest from the e23 seat and try to fit it in the e24 seat. The armrests are side specific. It just mounts to the same holes as the upper section mounts but with longer screws.
PITA to replace the plastic round side cover on the armrest!!
