Default Can you swap seat backs on recaro's

Was wondering if you can swap the complete seat back between the drivers and passengers side with the aim of moving the wearing bolster to the other side. Thanks David

David, I simply put a MINT passenger seat on my drivers side rails and the ONLY difference is the back adjustment wheel is on the wrong side, never the less it doesnt foul anything and nobody has spotted it yet. The other option is a passenger seat from a LHD car!

Sorry though, I cant advise on the seat back swap.

yes you can strip them back and rebuild them
ive done a few where ive make passenger side materials fit on drivers frames thus a minter than mint driver seat
often worth checking the backs as ive not seen any that didnt need welding up from splits in corners or nr headrests

Thanks for the replys. Are you saying you can swap them and end up with the recline mech. on the correct side. David
