I purchased a nice set of cloth front seats from a '96 850 for our new PV 544. This sweet brick came with 140 seats which are worn badly and too large for the cockpit,

The 850 seats seem to fit well, but there is not enough room for the plastic side pieces that hold the switches to trigger the side air bags.

I plan on cutting the wires to the switches and soldering them together so that the bags won't fire.

Does anyone know if the bag mechanisms can be pulled out of the seats without causing problems?
