LHD seats in RHD car

Post by thecremeegg » Tue Apr 30, 2024 1:25 pm

Got someone who wants to buy my sports seats to go in a LHD car, and in exchange give me his seats to go in mine.
Seeing as nobody wants to buy my car I'm happy to give this a go, however is there an issue with regards the seats being swapped from driver to passenger? They're manual if that makes any difference?

Did this twice for Barty

The only changes needed are to swap the seat base sensor in the current passenger seat into the current drivers seat

And it may need a seat belt bypass

Drop Bart a line

No the big plastic mat that sits under the foam of the seat base

Have a look on realoem you’ll see it

It plugs into that box you referenced
