Default Needing seats

So I just bought an 96 land rover, my problem is the seats that are in it arent the correct ones. The ones that are suppose to be in it are powered, Id like to put some nonpowered seats in it. Does anyone know what other seats would bolt in to it, with little to no conversions?

the 95 I just bought has the cloth non powered seats. I would guess those would bolt in just fine.

They '94 and '95's had different mounts. If I'm not mistaken, '96 saw the introduction of seats that mounted to the floor in the same manor as the Range Rover Classic. The '94 and '95 seats are odd ***** in terms of their compatibility.

Since we're talking seats.....
Can I replace just the bottoms of my '94 seats with those from a '98? I'm guessing not since the bases are different?
How much modification would be involved to make that work?

Do you know if there any other seats from a different vehicle that might fit, and if not, where could i get some to fit?
