I have done it. You'll want the big "smuggler's cubby" piece under foot from the 96+, as it has captive bolts for the center front mounts. Also the hoop in the middle back where the center edges of each seat clamps in. Keep all the bolts too, just in case.

The center hoop piece bolts to captive nuts underneath on the 96+. I marked carefully where it needed to go on my 95, then drilled two slightly oversized holes to allow for tweaking. Underneath I used a pair of thick stacked washers for each. One larger at something like 2-1/2" and then another smaller that was tight to the bolt's diameter. All hardware was grade 8.

One thing to know is that there are two cables in each seat that work the release for the tumble and fold. One of my donor seats had a broken one, as did my wife's 98. These cables are no longer available. They cwould cost $35/ea if you could get one. I picked up another pair seats just so I could strip the cables out.

You loose the center armrest of course. But that was a fair price for the trade in split tumble and fold, and for separate recline for the kids. Plus, the now can no longer fight over the center rest. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
