Do you mean what seats fit with no modification to the seat or van?

t25 seats fit best i believe. anything else either reduces room or whatever

If I could find a set of seats that dont need me messing with them better still. I didnt think there were seats that bolted straight in (apart from standard ones). Anything really.

are you sure you want leather, and not leather look vinyl? how much have you got to spend?? in my t25 i had the original captains seats recovered but they set me back £400, tho about £200 of that was for the leather alone! just a thought!

Ive seen leather saab seat on the bay of fleas for around the £100 mark. That said I will still have a fare bit of messing to do to make them fit.

The only seats that fit straight in are unsurprisingly T25 seats. All others require some faffing

My Saab leather seats are brilliant

porker seats , rail width is near idnetical .drill out spot welds on old rails and bolt porker ones in - took less than an hour!

Or give Guz a shout/PM ... he occasionally has Rover or Volvo leathers fitted to T25 rails.

Just fitted a pair of saab's to my T25 today, I'd say it took three hours in total, icluding getting the bolts etc. Followed the wiki instructions, really is quite straight forward.

They are the business too, really comfortable. I only have cloth ones, did think about leather but thinking of europe next year, didn't fancy peeling myself off them evertime I get out the van, let alone trying to sit in them after a day in blazing hot sunshine. Saying that i hooked up the heaters this afternoon.

they were a hell of a lot cheaper too 25 squid.

and have they remained standard throughout all of the model years or is it older models only that fit easily?

Cheers
