Leather seat skin swap, 1983 to 1986. 200 1986

My 1986 244GL has leather seats, mostly in good shape. But the driver's seat back is ripping up the outside seam.

I have a set of matching leather front seats from a 1983 245GL, in excellent un-ripped condition.

The snag is the headrests. I prefer the 1986+ style, and I have the matched leather inserts in mine now.

So here's my question:

Can I remove the seat back skin and foam from the 1983 driver's seat, and fit it to the 1986 driver seat frame, and have the foam and headrest fit OK? I know the holes for the headrest will differ, but I would hope not too much.

Your tips will be most welcome.

Regards,

Bob
