I posted on another thread (Fitting 3 point belts to a R+R bed) the other day that I think the Suzuki Wagon R rear seats would make a good alternative rear seat, Comes with head restraints, folds flat and is the same width as a 3/4 R+R bed, can be split folded Cheap to get from local scrapyards cos...

Any specific one to go for???

Sad day for me ... just sold my bus to my best mate He has a yound child and I have advised them that they will need to replace the ageing wooded bench seat/bed with one suitable for travelling. Can anyone recomend a suitable replacement please? (needs to be safe). Photos would be great thanks Keith

PM xr219 who may have one for you?

Thanks that's very useful. Bluebird seems to be the one to go for then. Is it correct that I will need to raise the height of the engine bay cover in order that it be the same level as the bed when folded down?

Looks like a very neat job .... bit beyond my abilities so will be buying one ready made. Thanks very much for the advice will post back when I have it all installed

Kind regards Keith

BTW Your van is very similar colour to mine

Yes the Bluebird looks a little more robust ... would be nice to see some pics of one in a van. My current set up is MDF rubbish. Does the Bluebird accommodate to seat-belts?

I am looking at replacing my bed to a metal framed ROCK N ROLL bed and I have seen this at Volkswares who are knocking 25 quid off plus giving free delivery if ordered before 14th January. Has anyone fitted one and are they any good?

Anyone know where I can get a replacement alternator adjustment/tensioner bracket for a 1.6D (1984) please?
(Am a teeny bit desperate )

Yes .. bolted on using existing nut ... 2 minute job.

Ghost ... very little modding required main part of the job was grinding off a few brackets so the rails sit flat. There are a couple of locating lugs which I left on to aid alignment and strength ... just need to carefully grind round the bracket that surrounds them ... a few strips of re-enforcing...

Yeah sorry photo taken with a mobile phone ... SA Steering wheel? ... not sure what that is but came off a T4 (fleabay of course )

Just grabbing a coffee after removing my old seats and fitting some lovely saab 93 fabric seats (didn't want leather). I picked up the seats (including the rest of the Saab interior) for £30 on flea bay and what a bargain as they are only six years old. I would encourage anyone considering upgradin...

Has anyone fitted Saab 95 seats? I bought a pair off fleabay for next to nothing but seems that the runners are a much narrower (16.25 inches) than my existing (17.75 inches) installation? I was expecting them to be a little too wide as opposed to too narrow?
