djratlif Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I was at a pick and pull recently and found a really nice set of heated leather seats in a wrecked R50. I have a 1992 WD21 that I am going to be plowing with and would really like the heated seat option. Does anyone know if the seats are a complete different frame or are they interchangeable without too much modification? I know I'll have to wire them in myself, but if the frames are different I will abandon the project and look for the more elusive WD21 seats at pick and pulls. Thanks, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motofish Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sorry i cant give you any useful information, but Im curious about this as well, my drivers seat is torn (read: 5" hole) and id like to replace it with something newer in which the heaters actually work, mine are not functional... I wonder what is compatible? I suppose you could fabricate an adapter plate of some sort... How are you set up for welding? Maybe an R50 owner can chime in with measurements for the mounting locations... I can measure mine on my WD21 tonight or tomorrow, whenever i get home...

Motofish Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sorry to double post, but im not sure how to edit a post from my Ipad... Found this during a search on the seat subject: I can't imagine a WD21 seat being much better, but they do bolt in. The SE trim seats are far better than the XE trim seats, but they're both a plenty in the junkyard. might be worth it to take a chance on R50 seats... You could also PM "silverton" for clarification... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djratlif Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 That is the useful information I was looking for, thanks a bunch. I will probably just take a seat out of the parts R50 I have and see if it bolts in like they say. I should have mentioned that I have one sitting around just waiting to be cannibalized.

stovanovich Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 There was a post in the R50 - WD21 Center console swap about them being the same runner code & a guy bolted them in fine but there were some questions whether they fitted with Doors on as he tried with no doors By memory there was never any confirmation on this so make sure you let us all know how you get on!

ferrariowner123 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 If your going for an r50 with heated seats, make your own harness! My 96 seats haven given me a lot of grief. It likes to turn my seats on when it's 80+ outside. Try and find a later model with the nicer material, the early pleather stuff is really cheap feeling. The later stuff feels a little better. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just an update if anyone is interested, tried my mate's R50 seats the other day... Runners are completely different so they won't swap over. A damn shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know if they can be set to turn on automatically as I just operate them manually. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
