Do any other model/year Volvo seat s fit the 1800 ?

If, so what are they ?

Is there a list somewhere ?

I sat in the driver's seat the other day and almost punctured a hole my scrotum from a spring that decided to pop up through the base of the seat. I need to get this fixed before there is serious damage.

Thanks,

CJ

I came across a gentleman in a red 1800 in NE Portland, OR. He had Toyota MR2 seats installed. They had to be the most amazingly comfortable car seats I've ever sat in (personal opinion, obviously), and they had sufficient bolstering on the sides to hold you in. That was my biggest complaint about the stock seats in my '70 1800E.. A flat metal rack with flat padding, upon which I'd sit my flat butt. Lot's of lateral sliding would occur, especially considering the seats were worn out to the point that the pad was sitting loosely on the metal frame.

I'm not sure what year the MR2 seats were but my uneducated guess would be mid to late '80s. They had plenty of adjustments too, including an adjustment for the pad that is located at the front edge of the seat, right below the backs of your knees. Mmm, I was so jealous. Great lumbar support too. I'd love to have a set.

I also agree, ES high back seats are very comfortable. Just un-button the seat cushion and get it fixed, I can't see it costing that much. I'm in the process now of installing Acura RSX seats in my ES, not because the original seats are no good, just because I wanted something different. Unfortunately they are not a direct bolt in and I had to do some cutting and welding of sheet metal. I've got the drivers seat in now, the passenger seat is next. I'm also thinking of moving the hand brake to the center of the car. Just to be different. Hope you keep your seats and your...... well you know....Bill

haha.. sounds dangerous indeed.

As far as I know, nothing is a direct bolt in. Were I you, I'd get your seats fixed... they are amongst the most comfortable in my opinion. I put ES seats in my '65 1800, and love them. But, they weren't bolt up.. I had to make some modifications.

Maybe.. get you a pillow for the interim time ;-)
