How about some corbeaus rewrapped in matching leather? i know there are some dismantlers in fresno but I don't know any MB specific ones in that area. Give www.silverstarrecyling.com a try.

Hey Eric,
I just put these in my cabrio.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-R...91393439QQrdZ1
They hold real nice, I took my friend who works at the MB dealership in Parts for a rip yesterday and he couldn't believe how well the seat held him.
Plus they're alot lighter than the regular seats.
I'll snap a picture later and post it
Joe

Knowing me. I'll probably get Recaro Pole-Position seats in the way future and have the AMG logo put on them since thats what the seats in the CLK DTM basically is.

SEXY

Not sure,
I know they had black & black with red stiching for sure. And red, blue & yellow, but not sure if it was in leather.

Eric have you thought about buying new seat covers for your exisiting seats?

Also I would call potomac and talk to pat and ask him if he can locate some. the 89 seats have a different pattern on the leather.

If you just need the rail then I would assume one from any year w124 coupe would work. the seats with the same leather pattern should be from 1990 onwards.

Eric,

Why don't you just re-upholster? IMO I wouldn't trade my power seats for those racing buckets. You can get MB-tex re-done pretty cheap, leather
will run you around $1,800 - 2.

if you cant find the rails, perhaps you can get some custom machined ata machine shop.

but I am thinking maybe rails from any w124 may work. not sure if they are different than the coupes.

The phone number I have for an MB dismantler in Sun Valley is 818-768-0704. I don't know if it's still good or if they are still in business. I had talked to them about rebuilt transmission, but I have not done business with them.
