Re: Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

Re: Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

Hit eBay quickly and found these - which are stock, apparently. So if the stock base is still there, these could fit right in? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Bus-Westfalia-T25-Vanagon-Camper-Captains-Armrest-Seats-/142137015253?hash=item211806bbd5:g:dTMAAOSw65FXvV0h" onclick="window.open(th...

Yep they still swivel... so maybe the original base is still there somewhere!

Re: Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

Take a close up of the runners , if the original runners are still there its an easy swap, if they have been removed by drilling out spot welds things get a bit trickier but do able. I'll try and get one, I only went to view it today so I can't get a photo immediately, I'll ask the seller :) Where ...

Re: Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

By the look of that extended gear stick those seats are way to high, you need to see if a standard seat can replace those seats . Okay cool, so... I didn't realise they weren't stock, seen photos with many different seats! 1. Where might I find replacement(s) - I'd be happy with just 1 to begin wit...

Hi All, Was looking at a T25 this morning, but I spotted one side of the frame for the pop-top seems to have popped out or something? Image below Is this normal and/or easily fixable? It seems to work fine I just don't want an expensive repair bill down the line if it's gonna collapse :wink: http://...

Re: Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

Thanks guys! I did think the seat was all the way back, but I spoke to the guy I'm buying it off (he is in Australia, I was chatting with his parents) and he thinks maybe the seat is reclined so it's not going back quite all the way (would make sense). I'm not familiar with the seats so maybe I just...

Legroom with the stock seats + steering wheel

Hi everyone, This is my first post so sorry if this isn't in the right place (but I'm quite sure it is) I did a test drive of a T25 this morning (1980 1.9 petrol) and found the driving position a bit of a challenge. I'm 6 foot something (1 or 2) and with my long legs I could barely get in, and the s...
