ARE FRONT SEATS INTERCHANGABLE?

Wondering if it should be straightforward to replace a Driver Seat with a Passenger seat on the early Lexus LS400. Invariably passenger seats are less worn.

Are Electrics confined to the Plastic / Frame. 

Anyone changed theirs?

I cloned a mark1 identical and switched over all the front seats way back in 2002 as the doner had low miles ,the seats don't interchange because the electrics for adjustment are different I think the floor mountings are different. 

It might be possible to take off the upholstery and interchange that.

Thats what I'm thinking that the Back and the Sqaub (cushion) can be relocated on to the Drivers Seat Frame. Perhaps.

The Seats don't have any left or right pattern to them so it would be nice to have a better cushion and save me having to use bolster cushions etc, as I don't find the seat particularly comfortable.

After 25 years they do collapse to a degree usually to the extent that you unknowingly "feel" support parts which jar the nerves in the BTM and cause leg twitching on long journeys- well thats my experience!.
