side to side front seat swap 200

I could swear that I had read on the board more than once that a passenger seat would go in the driver's spot as long as you could live with the adjustment wheels being on the wrong side and didn't have a center arm rest.

I took out both my seats today to rebuild them and put in another passenger seat tmporarily. I found that I couldn't get the back of this seat in the proper position for the bolts because the big adjustment wheel was hittin the e-brake console. Then after I took that out (broke it out really because it was already cracked and it's 15 degrees out) I still couldn't get the inner rear bolt back in because the seat wouldn't quite go down far enough since that wheel is still hitting the metal retainer that keeps the seat belt from sliding too far forward or back. So I'm living with one rear bolt and will count on the seatbelt to hold me and the seat in if there is an accident in the meantime.

So. Were those other posts wrong about passenger seat in drivers hole, am I crazy, or both?
