Default Aftermarket Seats, Anyone?

Does anyone have upgraded seats in their Disco? Mine are getting ragged. As always, replies are worthless without pics!

A reupholstery job is cheap. I think I had my drivers seat done for 65. The only difference was that the pin holes in the middle were a little more spaced out. I never notice.

Also had my Park brake and transfer case shifter boots done with real leather so they last longer. 12 for those two I think.

Sorry, no pics. Truck is in the shop.

That $12 did not include labor did it?

Both costs were including labor. I think my upholsterer used some scrap leather he had left over for the boots.

My guess would be that a bmw seat, either e38 or e39 would work. My observation is based on the fact that they switches are the same and the wiring harness looks the same. With out digging into it too much.

I would start there.
