Anyone know if the electric front seat brackets can be replaced with the manual ones? Bolt in?
One of them broke, needs replaced and I just prefer manual seats.

Yes they can, same brackets. Just make sure you get a pre 96 bracket.

Manual and power seats are the same.

BTW, what will you do with the power ones?

I don't know, trade 'em off. Want them? trade you some manuals for these electrics. The drivers side needs about a inch weld other than that both operate. I just don't care for them, my hand does'nt fit between the door and controls unless I shove it, and it's just easier and quicker to use the manual lever.

Are you sure???
I also have the same problem in my 91. So far, the manual seat bases I have tried or measured wont fit.

Yes I am sure. There were changes made to the 95-on seats though.

I dont have any manual seat bottoms to spare, or I would, but my power passengers side has grinding gears.
