Lovely work, as ever Simon

Due to the massive 3" tubs I needed to modify the seats and kinda like body drop them over the frames and the tilt forward mechanism was main to the bit I removed and the slide mech I made to slide up inside the seats to slow it to drop down got a massive 3inch drop from my old seats which will leave me loads of room and be super comfortable for all the long drives
Lowering a bus ain't for the faint hearted literally everything needs to be modified to fit
