I always thought the outer 'bolster ' of the seat base was slightly higher, reason being I once put my seats in the opposite side and immediately felt like something was wrong? I have the armrest type so maybe it's only those? Never thought of that? l change armrest type captain seats regularly to ...

Be mindful of how close the engine lid is to the filters as well, I'm pretty sure you need quite short ones on a T25.

I've also seen pipes just run down below the engine so any fumes just 'vent' into the atmosphere, anything to get it out of the engine bay.

I'll throw my two penneth worth in here, 190mm batteries WON'T fit under the seat if you have either a swivel or a flush fitting cover, get your tape measure out and see for yourself. As for charging, those little dashboard type Solar panels will do nothing in the big scheme of things so you'll need...

As stated it was a pals van rather than my own so didn't live with it on a daily basis but as far as I'm aware it performed well enough.

When you say "drilling into air filters " how are you proposing to secure the pipes?

Isn't there an option whereby the fumes go into a small 'box' thing then into each valve cover?

I recall a mate fitting one to an air-cooled once.

Just had a look 'Empi oil breather kit' about £70.

I am at the same point keep killing lead acid batteries and looking at LIFPo4 100ah battery and b to b setup. Whats the thoughts on a 20amp b to b for a standard cu engine output? What about a 20amp setup at about £145 from ebay I use a fold up solar panel when parked up. Or a victron 20amp I've go...

Just messure the space yourself, if you have 'built up' battery covers on and no swivel seats you may well fit a taller battery under there but if you have either a swivel or you want the battery flush with the top of the 'seat box' then a 190mm battery won't go in.

No, there are very few that do, Daughter has a T25 with battery under seat but its only around 70ah lead acid.

Needs to be no taller than 175mm if I recall, most are 190mm and the lithium a bit taller again.

I'll second the lithium route, Fogstar in particular.

Both myself and my Son have the 105ah batreries and they're pretty good to be fair, they also do a 'budget ' version now without the Bluetooth and heater for about £200.

If the studs are OK, which is doubtful, can you get a 'nut splitter ' on? Alternatively use a dremel type tool with small cutting disc to slice the nut, If stud replacement is required then the above advice is perfect. I did some in the past but used some 'repair studs' which were M9 on the one end ...

Cracking job, roof looks far better in the body colour I think.

Apologies, I see it now.

Can't see the pics.
