85 Towncar Updates.

I am thinking about getting some 90-94 Seats for my 85 TC. From my measuring they would fit, and I shouldn't have to drill too many holes in the tracks . I was wondering would the electrical connectors be the same, or will I have to make some. Also, I really like the 90-94 Steering Wheel, and was thinking that I could remove the Airbag module, and install it on mine if the cruise connectors were similar. Am also looking at new wheels, either 80's era Turbines, 98-02 Cartier Chrome's, or 98-02 Signature Touring wheels. I know the lug pattern is the same, but on the 98-02 I wasn't sure about the offset.
Thanks, Dave

I would also like to know if the seats swap, I once heard the front and rears both did, the fronts requiring some custom work, but not sure.

Well, I checked with the ford dealer, and he said that the wheels would fit without spacers, the seats required some modification for the front, but the back would fit perfectly.
