hello all, RickM recommended this bbs for the info i need.
i have aquired a front set of seats from an early MB.
i don't really have a use for these as i have a slight porsche and mid 80's turbo dodge addiction.
these seats were in storage in an attic since 1975 at the latest.......30 years...nice
they are covered in dust and such but are cleaning up VERY nicely, they should be totally "refurbished" by this weekend.....but things are looking very good.
does MB put part numbers on seats? and if so where will i find them?

here are a couple dirty pics.....just like i found them (after i got them home)




thanks in advance, i'll offer them to this board before they hit ebay "for the help"

Hard to tell but they look mighty similar to the seats in my W108.

They also look alot like 114 seats. Any possibility they might be 107's?

They look similar to the 107 seats but without an armrest. There must be a way to identify.
Perhaps a business that sells reupholstery/seat covers might know. Any suggestions?

i'm pretty sure they are 107's.

set them up with the chrome facing out. on the driver's seat on it's right side push in and see if you can feel the nut that is used for the arm rest.

only question i would have about being a 107 did the sedans have this type in 70 to say 74. i don't know if the seat were interchangeable.

I think a shot of the seat backs would help. I don't think the 107's had the cargo netting. Also, both seat shots are showing the inboard side of the seat. On my 108 the outside edge has a knob for adjusting the recline, I imagine they all did though.
