I do not have access to the harness from the 1986 parts car. Will any 1986 and newer harness work? Does it need to come from a sport seat car? Thanks for any information.

You will need a harness from an e24 memory seat. The seat controller has different electrical input so it will not plug in to your car. Your other option is to swap the memory seat controls to non-memory unit - something I'm not experienced with

I may have a memory seat harness available.

You will also need to provide power to the leg bolster harness on the sport seats. Simple splicing of wires under the seat

Will I need a harness for both passenger and drivers side or just the driver’s side? If you have a harness or harnesses I would buy. Thank you.
