    Of course Ian. Drop me a PM and I’ll see what I can do!
    From memory as Davidoft points out there are some differences over the years but if you’ve managed to bolt them together it should be fine. The only major difference that springs to mind is when the passenger seat just clips in like the earlier style of seats, the backs on these are very different from the drivers side.

    headrest back bolted to my swivel passenger base… on closer inspection the shoulder bolts securing the seat back on drivers seat are a little smaller in dia and thread…

    A pair of cab door handles wrapped in vinyl for Deon’s bay.

    These were good fun to do!

    Mike sent me some lovely detail shots of the front seats and RnR bed I put together for him recently. They looks great next to the trim panels from trim Jim.
