[montyman]

Hi, I would like to change the front driver seat from power to manual. I believe I can keep the power seat back tilt.
can I remove the power seat rails and replace them with manual rails from my parts 84 riv front passenger seat?
thanks

In general, if you can remove the powered rails and fit the manual rails to the seat frame, then you should be able to then mount it to the floor and have a working conversion.

So all good. Everything unbolted, the manual slide connected with no issues, and with a bit of bending, front two and back two bolts lined up and all snugged up. The power seat back worked for a second then likely the fuse blew. Not that worried as it's stuck in a good fit.
