I am wondering if anyone has transplanted the horse hair padding in the seats from one MB to the next. For some reason lots is missing from my one MB that the other can donate.
All thoughts are great and thanks.

Sadly I am parting this out. But I am only keeping it for a little while longer so let me know if anyone wants anything.

I also did this and was successful - but make sure you work in a warm place and disassemble in a plastic tub or similar - or picture you much like me at 3am picking up springs, copper clips and ball bearings from your kitchen floor. I cleaned everything with sandpaper, QTips and rubbing alcohol. Switches have worked flawlessly for last 5 yrs.
