S40 seat compatible with '96? (Read 7 times)

Jimworx Junior Member Offline I love YaBB 1G - SP1! Posts: 72	S40 seat compatible with '96? 03/11/08 at 15:01:08 I saw a 2005 S40 seat for sale on e-bay and I was wondering if it's compatible with a '96 savage. I thought I would ask before bidding. Jim

But it is not a plug and play installation.

Reply #2 - 03/11/08 at 15:33:13 I think it's somewhat compatible. Of course someone with will know best. The mounting is different as it's a one piece seat vs. 2 piece. But the shape will match up well.

I replaced my two piece 2001 seat with a 07 one piece..... Why, My 13 year old son said the '01 rear seat was stiff. I was at the stealership and felt the floor model and realized yea, he was right.

1) At the rear bolt down bracket on the 07, I put a rubber bumper since I didn't want to drill a hole in my shiny fender.
2) Getting the one piece on is an exercise of patience and sliding the front in from the side.
3) the left & right bolts line up fine.....

Sorry, don't have pict's with new seat.... Embarrassed
