s3 seats

[madS2]

Anyone know if s3 front seats would fit a 3b?

[s2driveruk]

probably with a bit of welding onto runners which fit into the S2 - do you mean the recaro jobbies?

[madS2]

yep,lol

[newS2]

the recaro's in the S3 are all electric as standard I think . It'll require a bit of wiring,

To my knowledge, the S3 has the same floorpan and seat mountings as the TT.

Photo below is of the TT's seat subframe. Lots of motors, gas struts & relays.
This would all have to be cut away for a standard 3 point mounting to be welded on - assuming you could fit the 3 point high enough in the seat so that the seat wouldn't end up positioned too high.

Only one way to find out - but it'd be very expensive mistake if it turns out to be a No-go.

would then need a subframe something along these lines fitted:

wat subframe is that?

watch out, some seats have the subframe made of aluminuim, so welding is *****.

Its actually for the passat, but the fixings & design are identical to the S2 fixing points.
Was just the best pic I had on file.....

That wouldn't surprise me at all - the weight saving would be a bonus but would help mate it even more of a PITA job.
