    I’ve got a drivers and double bench seat up front and I’m looking into something to swap them out for , something like a car rear seat , one that will still retain the three seats with seatbelts , one that doesn’t sit too high - any ideas?

    Have you thought of having them reupholstered with more padding and softer leather Daz?

    I’ve forgot what there called but it’s one seat and when your camping you can reverse it. Very expensive but if I had the money I would have done it to my old bay.
     
  9. Front flip seat?? They look cool expensive though around 800 quid or 500 just for brackets :eek:

  11. Kruger is the person if you want a flip bench starting to see them much cheaper than what I paid for mine

  12. I put early t25 seats in mine with swivels... improvement. More recently got some good later t25 caravelle seats. Mahoosive improvement and love the armrests! Seat squab, base, is a bit longer, ie more arse area. Have trouble with hip sitting for long periods and it made a big difference. Plus they just slide in if you have late style runners on both sides. If not you can buy them.

  13. VW Evolution do the frames for 595 and full seat start from 950 id get a fabricator to make one for you i'd love one but mines a walkthrough!
     
  14. I like the single t25 seats with armrests they look cool and are uber comfy!

    I may do , or a cheaper option would be not to take the missus out on long trips :thumbsup:

    Years ago, before I had any grey hair I once owned a Bay. I fitted the rear seat from a beetle in as there are three in the family and wanted 3 up front - it sort of worked.

  20. @Dazza you can buy a full length seat that where normally in the back and have it adapted for the front surly someone will have done it.
