Hi, folks, I have a '75 164e into which I have put a 244gl interior, including the seats. However, I am 6ft 4ins and I find the 200 series seats lacking in two ways: first, the headrest is actually a neck-rest for me, way too short for it to be meaningful if I got rearended. Second, the lumbar 'lump' isn't quite in the right place for my back, and this shows up on extended periods spent behind the wheel. I have bad back, and this is a real irritant.

Anyone got any recommendations for other seats that can be fairly easily adapted to the lower part of the 200 series frame (the assembly with the rails, that bolts to the floor pan)? I read somewhere that it's a nightmare to put in 700 series seats -- has anyone tried this?

I guess I am thinking BMW 3 or 5 series, or Volvo 700 series... in particular the leather 760 style. Obviously they have to look somewhat right for the car. I can't think of any Japanese seats that would look good (and I find them flimsy anyway).

Cheers

Mac
