Can you convert a passenger seat to a drivers seat?

[Bellend]

As above.

Can't see why not if your good with a welder.

yes, but would be a bit of a chew, also you would need to buy new plastic trim pieces, i.e where the wheel to tilt back and forth is... if its a folding seat then obviously the main handle will be on the inside not outside (I know there is a handle on both sides)... also the seat belt clip would be on the wrong side, unsure how you would move that to the other side, whether its just bolt on or welded?

imo more chew than its worth, especially seens as you can pick up a full set of recaros for a little over 250

Hmm OK cheers guys. Just seen a passenger seat nearby cheap and as it's a passenger it's always in better nick than the driver! Will look into it and report back.

try get a passenger seat from an LHD ?

What bits do you need exactly as I'm got a pair of front seats stripped down here mate?

[mcgee9t2]

now sure if im correct, but i believe you could take the passanger seat, take out all the bolsters and remove the seat covers and fit them to yours.

would certainly seem the more sensible option and if any modification was required it would be very minor modifications that you could do with a pair of scisors.

unless all the plastic trim is scratched and getting tatty?

[thai-wronghorse]

Basically I bought a pair of front seats to poach the passenger lower foam as my drivers outer bolster is collapsing as per usual. I've stripped both the spares down and just need to swap the foam now.
Bear in mind the upper outer bolster contains an airbag so isn't side transferable.

[Bellend]

Hmmmmm  cheers guys. Might just do the above then so need lower foam and fabric as has slight hole. Not sure whether to keep or sell as they are comfy.

[mcgee9t2]

also,

depending on the damage, you could try repairing, the foam is an easy fix, and can be fixed with some adheasive spray and a little ductape. i know people who have done that and its lasted years, certainly what im going to be doing as my foam has just started to go.

if the rip in the seat cover is only small you could possibly get it sewn up?
