[QUOTE="Paul., post: 13946693, member: 156070"] Yes, it is definitely possible to swap from power to manual. I converted my Recaros from manual to heated/power in the thread below, and know the reverse is possible. [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/svt-shelby-gt500-150/909957-my-frpp-recaros-just-came.html[/url] You would need a set of manual seat tracks, would need to modify the driver side metal seat base in order to accommodate the seat height adjuster that comes on the driver side manual track. (at least the ones that were on my Recaro tracks) Driver and passenger tracks are different because the driver seat has the height adjuster, and the passenger doesn't. In this pic, you can see the seat height adjuster. Note how there is a recess in the metal seat base to accommodate this. This recess does not exist in the OEM seat bases. However, it wouldn't be extraordinary difficult (in my opinion) to cut away some of the seat base to make it fit. [ATTACH=full]551451[/ATTACH] Here you can see the shape of the OEM seat base. [ATTACH=full]551452[/ATTACH] Here is a power base next to a manual one, all blown apart. [ATTACH=full]551453[/ATTACH] Anyway, if you read through TOB's thread in detail, you'll get a really good idea how everything comes apart and what would be involved. I would sell my manual seat bases along with the trim that you'd need to make everything look factory if you're interested. Paul. [/QUOTE]
