After many issues with the factory power seats im considering replacing them with an aftermarket set of seats (Cordbeau, recaro, etc) but im having a bit of trouble finding brackets. The only brackets I can find attempt to preserve the factory power functions, this is exactly what I dont want to do. I would just like a manual slider and the recline should be built into the aftermarket seat so no power there either.

Does anyone know of any aftermarket or factory drop in replacement seats?
Otherwise, any brackets I might be missing in the UK or somewhere? Ive checked the usual parts sources here in US and I cant find anything.

 

I've heard that Mazda RX8 seats fit very nicely into a D1. Not sure if it was 94-95 seat bases, or 96-97 seat bases though.

 

I use the Corbeau seats in my '95, had to buy their adapter brackets (from Corbeau) they fit / wear / look good , the brackets were made on an as needed/sold basis so I had to wait a bit but it made the install a lot easier

 

Those brackets preserve the power seat functions, right?
If so im hoping to get away from those because of all of the trouble ive been having with the power seats.

 

The switches can be a pain, but in reality they are pretty easy to fix with some patience...

Mine is missing some trim panels and the switches themselves so I figure between those and the seats being beat up it would probably be a better route to ignore them. Otherwise im looking at $500 in switches + ???? for drivers side trim.

 

no........the brackets( adapters) mount the standard Corbeau seat to the land rover bracket.....I have manual seats

 

Oh really? Do you have part number or similar?
Ive only ever seen https://corbeau.com/land-rover-disco...seat-brackets/ which "maintain your factory slide, tilt or power functions." I assumed this to mean that the seats would be power only.

 

I believe it's all the same bracket , rover uses the same seat mount for manual AND electric seats

 

Yeah my only concern is that the bracket they list has no sliders and corbeau doesnt sell seats with sliders, its all in the bracket.
