leather seat 700 1990

my 760 leather passenger seat is in really bad shape, the driver seat is better.
the seats are electric - can i switch the seat cushions between the driver and passenger seats? that way i can cover the driver seat with my sheepskin cover.

thanks

    The seat cushions can be switched. The backrest can not due to the reclining mechanism and lumbar support being on the wrong side. It is welded/riveted in place and practically impossible to switch. You can completely strip the backrest and use the foam on the other side. If you also switch the cover you will have the hole for the lumbar adjustment on the wrong side which may or may not be acceptable.
    Why not get another seat from a yard. Around here, Southern California, they go for around $15 - 20.00 and the passenger seats in the yards are usually worn a lot less than the drivers seats.

      other leather seats? 900 1993

      Have you, by some chance, seen any "butterscotch" seats for 940s? I've been trying to locate a front set for quite a while, and no yard near here (north of Chicago) has had any for quite a while. Strandberg in Wisc 0, AAron in NY 0 ...

      Any sourcing info would be helpful. Thanks -

        I assume by "butterscotch " you mean the tan leather? I see quite a few of those for 740 but the drivers seats are usually cracked or worn out while once in a while you can find a decent passenger seat.
        940 is not yet common in the Pick-A-Part yards but maybe the seats are the same...
        Why not get a sheepskin cover.

      thanks, I will try to get replacements from the junk yard but they are often hard to find in good condition, in the meantime i will switch the cushions - i guess it is easy enough to do, i haven't looked yet, just go the car.
      thanks again
