C30 seats in a 242?

rearwheelpeel · 07-23-2020, 01:43 PM

I’m starting to look at different options for seats in my 242. I have access to a wrecked c30 with good seats. Have c30 seats ever been put into a 242? I’m not really trying to retain any of the electronic positioning controls, I mainly just need seats that I can fold forward easily. Im just looking for a little guidance here. Does anyone think I should not attempt to put these in? Has anyone tried? I appreciate any feedback, thanks.

EDIT: I just found pictures of buchkas 242 build with 2 piece custom Gemini’s and black c30 seats.... so I guess my original question has been answered.

I bought those seats from Alex when he upgraded to Recaros. Turns out they fit in a 245 too

Here's some manual ones, you didn't specify. Electric ones would probably be easier to make brackets for.
