cheers Emma!!!Unfortunately I have now discovered that the seat doesn't fit my van!
This is because my van doesn't have original runners anymore, the seats appear to be from a Ford and have runners which bolt to the floor of the van.
Apparently the original VW runners are welded in? No sign of them in mine.
I have found some from a breakers for 30 quid. How big a job is the welding? Not that I can weld, I just want to know what it might cost to get it done.
And apparently not only will I need a lap belt for the inner part of the bench seat but I will also need to replace the existing outer seatbelt?
Can it not just attach to a longer stalk ???
Talking of welding, the passenger seatbelt floor mounting is well rusty and needs patching up. But if the bench needs a different type of seatbelt... would this still attach to the same place on the floor?
I don't know what to do now. Is it better to (a) keep going with the bench seat, or to (b) put the single seat back in and then add a small single (possibly folding) seat in the middle... Or is that even more welding???
If I choose to put the bench in, what about bolting the runners instead of welding? Then it would be a lot easier to go back to the single seat if this was ever required?
Any answers to any of the above would be greatly appreciated!
cheers
Vince
