with som epictures and dimensions hopefully.

thanks thats brilliant,
what vehicles use the same seat belt buckles?
as i take it you cant salvage the origals from the seats?

also thinking of getting these trimmed but with the silver body work am thinking red interior ,
can the door cards be covered or is it a case of painting/staining?
where can i find out what the original leather red would of been used if it actually was an option?
ive seen the colour i think i want but its on an e30 ....

Dunno about the seat buckles! As for available interior colors, red was not one of them. Also see http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=106

I didn't want to destroy the seats to get the buckles off. The way they're fitted is kind of odd, they bolt to the runner, but also pivot on the seat. My replacements came of an E24 6 series, and actually the rear ones cut down, drilled and bent slightly.

maybe years ago i just removed them for the original seats......was 17 years ago
