To save wiring, you could mount them like some American cars, say on the door
side of the seat toward the front. MUCH easier there..

The part about retrofitting power seats into a 116. First off, I have
never seen or heard of that. Next, that would be a next to impossible
job. Where the heck are you going to mount the seat switch? It would
look pretty stupid just screwed to the door panel I would think.
Getting the wiring
Well, my understanding (IIRC from Stu Ritter) is that all SEDAN/COUPE seats
are interchangeable (as to bolt in bolt out with the bases) from about
1959-1989. Later sedans, and SLs/SLCs are not.
I know that w123 - w116 - w126 are for sure, as I had w123 seats in my w116,

Ah, well in that case unless it's a euro w126 with manual seats, or you
happen to love rewiring jobs in your spare time, pass on the whole idea as
getting the wiring looms for the power seat controls out of the 126 isn't
exactly the last word in fun -- more so if the PnP you were at has the cars

yes, it is.

I would think it would fit OK thought. If it is cheap enough, give it

You can. Leatherique will do it. It's probably not a real
good idea, as the original color would start to show through
with wear. I put a Palomino 190E seat bottom in my 107 SL,

pretty wide. I am bound to say, however, that unless you are stuck on the

I think they are too big to fit. I considered this route myself when I
needed a new seat for my 240D.
