240 Seat backs..interchangeable?

Discussion in 'Volvo 240' started by Les &/or Claire, Oct 20, 2004.

  1. Do I remember someone in here saying that 240 seats have interchangeable
    backs? I just got a second hand one from a scrappy to replace the broken
    backed original. My original seat base is in much better nick that the
    replacement. Can I mix and match? With that adjuster wheel I get the
    impression of the old "alarm clock syndrome" where if you undo the wrong bit
    springs and bits ping everywhere.

    a fascist dictatorship, Voice or no voice, the people can always be
    brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
    do is to tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the
    pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

    Yep, it's pretty easy actually. Cut the wire rings holding the upholstery on
    and roll it up a bit, you'll see the bolts on each side that hold the
    seatback to the base containing the adjustment mechanism. There's 3 bolts on
    each side then the whole back assembly comes right off. You can even mix and
    match the later style seatbacks with the early style cussions and vise-versa
    but the upholstery is unique to the seatback style. When you're finished,
    use those little nylon zip ties to hold the upholstery back down.
