I have tried to find out how to swap Peugeot seats to other cars. In fact, the seats are the main reason I have two Peugeots -- my wife has a back problem and the 405 seats are the only ones that she can sit in. We've looked at just about every model car, and we review them again every few years.
My inquiry about swapping into an American car was answered with concerns about saftey issues. How would you bolt it to the floor properly? Would it pass inspection? Even my mechanic was a bit leary about doing this.
Has anyone every tried this? (Swap seats to different model cars?)

The quote I remember best was "The most comfortable seats man ever sat on" -
I think it was a writer for Car and Driver...

Why would someone in their right mind replace the most comfortable and
supporting seats available with something else.
Didn't you read the review on Peugeot seating and ride back in 1985?
Motor Trend claimed that the only other cars on the market that were
anywhere close to Peugeot was Jaguar and the S class Mercedes.
My two cents.

Hi Group,
I would like a recommendation for alternative seats for an '83 505
gas. Neither the original nor an earlier style offer adequate lumbar
support. I haven't found any aftermarket cushion or device to serve.
My choice is to find a wrecked car of any make and switch out seats. I
don't want to have to do much engineering to get them in place. Does
anyone have any experience with this issue?
I am using the car daily to deliver pizza. It is a great ride and easy
on the body in most ways but the seats issue. A local mechanic who
worked at the former dealership provides the maintenance and
occasional recycled parts. It has been very economical due to this
arrangement and a very nice ride as well. The gas prices is the big
issue as I get only 17 mpg or so.
Thanks,
John
