I have read on Swedish forums (fora? forii?) that people have done successfully what you suggest; putting seats from 850 cars into their 240s. Apparently, a little welding is required. Seats from BMW E36 seem to be popular too. The 740 seats are reportedly a bit too wide.

But as already mentioned, the 240 seats are fairly easy to fix up. I rebuilt the driver's seat on mine with foam and cover from a junked car's passenger seat a couple of years ago with great results. This weekend I tore down the passenger seat as well, as the seat heater and the grid needed repair work. A great opportunity for giving the covers a good wash as well. Machine wash (wool program), drip dry and they look like new. Just be careful, there are lots of sharp objects to cut your hands on in there.

Have a look at Tony Hoffman's great instructions (pictures and text) on my web site: http://home.no.net/ebrox

Good luck!

Erling.
