The drivers seat in our U280 was beginning to be a little uncomfortable after a few hours. I suspect other vintage coaches could have the same issue. When you sit sideways in the drivers seat on the GVs ( or passenger seat) eventually it could compress the edge of the seat to the point that you sit a little crooked. Like driving with a fat wallet in your pocket. So I decided to switch em.
I unbolted the 4 bolts that hold the seats to the swivel and moved the drivers to the other side and vice / verse on the passenger one. Now the DW ( or passenger) leans toward the wall a smidge but the drivers seat isn't lopsided anymore. Not something you can see but feel after hours of driving.
The upside also is that I have the better sides of both seats facing the center of the coach. Power controls are easily switched also.
Now for the real question. I saw the hose for a lumbar in the seat while doing the swap. No motor of course beacause we don't have lumbar "yet". Can't I just ad the motor to gain that function or what.
Good going Robert. That is one of those things that I read and say
why didn't I think of that. Two almost new seats, sure beats spending
more than a coach buck getting seats redone.
Thanks for sharing,

If you call flexsteel with the seat serial number found under neath you can order new foam and the installation is fairly simple.
