I just woner if the driver's seat is identical to the passenger's seat
of course I'm talking abut the later seats and - would a late passenger seat fit at the early driver's seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Gustl |

They're all the same, except for the railings on the bottom, but those unbolt. So yes, they're all interchangeable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

What about the angle of the back of the headrest? There is a left and right.

The driver seat has an "indent" area along the lower left to help clear the hand brake lever.

I switched mine - but there is a difference in the headrests. You can see it after you do the switch and look at the seats from the back of the car.
I don't have any interference with the e-brake using my passenger seat on the driver's side. |

I have an early car (MY'70) with the non-movable passenger seat my idea is to get a good passenger seat and use it as driver's seat, because passenger's seats are in general in better shape ...

I stand corrected... The rear 'seam' has an angle to it. Here you can see my 914 happens to have two driver's side seats in it.

On my 72, there's a difference in the side bolsters. If you switch the seats (like the trim shop evidently did when the PO had it reupholstered), the passenger seat being on the driver's side makes grabbing the P-brake lever really hard.

Drivers side has narrower side-pad to give extra clearance for e-brake.
