C210 Seats - What Fits?

[racsov500]

has anyone put aftermarket seats in their c210, or from a different model car? ive got a coupe so they need to be flip forwards, and the floor design/rail height sits you up really high so something pretty low, thinking some old recaros or something. you can buy bride rails for c210s off yjp but that is $$$ and id rather make something fit the stock rails.

measurements are approximate as the mounting holes are oversized/slotted so they can be moved

ive been told r30 seats bolt in (but would have to find dr or hr ones to be legal)

r31 seat rails, the 2 rear bolts line up, the 2 front tabs need to be modified but are somewhat close, but the seatbelt bolt hits the trans tunnel

I'm also interested in doing this, stock ones weigh far too much.

From that picture, they look to be the same as a C110 (240K), but I can't see how the front of the runner is bolted on, on the 240K the front of the runner bends 90% and a bolt goes through it.

FYI. MR30 seat mount points are 425 x 310. Also interested to see what you decide to do.

Pretty sure C31 laurel is the same as r30

[racsov500]

the front tabs bend about 90 deg down and bolt onto that floor brace thing from the front

r30 seats would work but they are too hard to find for coupes and would probabaly cost just as much as some old jap recliners
