Question about seat conversion solved (I think) 200 1983

Not the answer I was hoping for, but for what it's worth...

A few days ago I posted asking how to switch the seat back adjustment mechanism from one side to the other, so I could install a passenger seat on the driver's side. I had done this once years ago and couldn't remember how I had done it the first time.

Turns out the mechanism on a 1983 seat is sneakily different from the 1979 I did before--and I don't think the adj wheel can be relocated on the newer seat. It looks like you have to take the whole mechanism off a driver's side seat and bolt it onto the frame of the seat back you want to use. This involves hog ring pliers and peeling back the upholstery, which I didn't want to get into, but that appears to be the only solution.
