Is there a list anywhere fo what interiors can fit a w460? Basically I'm looking into some upgrades if I'm keeping mine.

Could anyone who has replaced their front seats list what car they used please.

I would want to change the front and rear seat only. 

Would front seats from a saloon or estate 1997-1999 w210 fit a standard G?

 I could probably get the electric controls to fit somewhere. Has anyone done this?

What about the rear ones? I guess that only the estate ones which fold down would work?

If i do it I will have a really nice original 'small' check set of seats for sale if anyone wants them.

front seats from a w201 or a w202 will fit  a bit of manipulation, the seat backs are direct swaps

So would that be the 190 range of cars?

I thought you were going to sort me out with a dog guard some time??

Oh yes...do you mean that the back seats from w201 and 202 will fit straight in the back of my G?

W201 is the 190 series. W202 is the C Class series.

I mean the seat backs of the front seats from the 190 series and the 1st generation c-class I fitted a pair whilst I was having the original recovered in leather, the base is a fiddle but the backs a straight swap

Sorry I think I'm being a bit thick here.

Are you saying 1) Recaro seat will fit and 2) Rover V800 Vitesse saets will fit?

Or are they one and the same?

Edit: Quick bit of research has answered my numptie question!

 

ps. Any idea if they did electric versions of these seats?

How about w124 seats. They look like the ones in the early w463's? I'd like them with the fold down arm rests on both seats.

How about w210 300 cars from 1997-99?

I think the crucial measurement is the distance between the mount rails on the front seats? Mine measures 32cm and the it an alternative bolt in the storage box for a 30-31 cm rail as well if that helps us narrow it down.

W210,  too big but can be done,  the fronts only just go in, the rear has been grafted onto the G wagon seat frame which has been made higher to look right.  Unfortunately the rears don't fold over.

E-Class seats are too wide and will foul the transmission tunnel, you can adapt the covers if you skin them but its a lot of work

Gordon, Those seats look proper comfy. Do they touch the tunnel and are the able to slide back and forward? Did you have to drill new holes in the tops of the storage box to mount them? There is only so much width available. I measured the mounting rails as 32cm on my original seats. What width are the w210 seats please?

Did you remove the seat cushion and backs in the rear before putting the w210 one in? How much higher is it? What is the height from the boot floor to the top of the seat? Could work well for my dogs.

The original rear seat is incredibly heavy or is it just me?

Re: Interiors that fit a W460 from other Mercs

Watching this thread with interest. I also need a new / second hand set of front seats. Does anyone have a straight forward 'non coded' answer to the original question ?

I can see G Klasse Fronts sitz on ebay.de for 2,000 to 4,000 yoyo's. I dont have that kind of dosh.

What model series front seats fit straight onto the base frame of a W460 or W463 (mine) that I could hit the local scrappy for ?

thanks chappies in advance
