Title: Seats
Post by: mantahatch on 10 October 2008, 17:11:16

Hi all
Just taken delivery of some MV6 sports type seats from a 98/99 Omega.
I am trying to fit them into my 96 CDX.
Problem is I have the old seat belt tensioners with the massive tensioner thingy on the side opposite the gearbox tunnel and a big cable running under the seat to the seatbelt stalk. The new seats have the the smaller tensioner on the side next to the gearbox tunnel attached virtually directly to the seat belt stalk.
Question is can I adapt the wiring to work with new style bits or should I change the entire seat subframe over and retain the old type.

Thanks, and sorry the post is so long.

Mike

I reckon you'll have to retain the old set up, as the new ones have an electric input to trigger the pre-tensioner.

Agreed,

reuse the old bases
