Mike is right. But then again, the Blues Brothers do need a new Bluesmobile.

I got the seats from a w123 and they were manual. The only trick to that was that I had to swap over the rails from my old seats to these. The double sliding rails dont exactly match the w116. The only issue I have right now is the seat belt bar is way too high and hitting the side of the seat. And slight wierdness with running a little warm when it feels like it but never overheating. We are thinking of a radiator while there is a headgasket leak right up front by the chain and oil is leaking.
