Question Can you use other type mercedes seats?

I just bought a 1985 300SD. I know it is the 126 body chassis but want to know if I can use seats from other body style Benzs, particularly a 124 body chassis? I would think even though the frames may not match up to the body, the seats themselves would bolt onto my current frames. Am I way off?

i would think so if you had the brackets to go with the seats. i'm not wholly sure tho. i'd be happy if someone could post up a DIY for stuffing the seats to have the 'bucket' feel to it.

if you do do the conversion, post pics.

Any Luck?

I was just about to post the same question when I found your thread. Can you share what you learned? Can I put W124 Seats in a W126 car?

I saw a picture of a 126 w/ 140 seats, but no 124 seats..
