Default 1995 Vader Seats in 1999 Ti

I found a set of 95 manual heated Vaders that I would like to swap into my 99 Ti, my Ti has manual heated seats as well.
Will this swap work?
Other than seat belt receptacle, what issues will I have?
Do I need to swap anything else from my current seats?

I thought the bolt pattern might be the same, but wasn't sure. Is the wiring the same?

wiring should be the same if manual to manual swap.

if it's electric, then that is a different story

just use your current seatbelt receptacle and everything will work

Wiring is all the same. I've done this to my ti as well. The heating elements have two plugs on the bottom of the seats which are the same as the ti ones. And there is another plug for the seat itself. You may have to swap out the bottom buckle assembly tho on the seats as it may be different from obd 1 to obd 2. I've had to swap it from my ti seats to the vaders. It's just two bolts per each one. Simple swap, takes about 5 minutes to do.

Yeah. Heating elements are for sure the same. The seat belt restrainer or buckle assembly may have to be swapped from the original seats which is no problem to do and doesn't affect anything.
