5th seat for westy t25

Post by bundoodle »

Could anyone recommend the best way to fit a 5th seat in a t25?

Would a jump seat from a multivan work? If so would it be easy to fit?

Cheers.

Jump seats a la Bluestar mount onto the cab seat box with a substantial bracket. This allows easy removal. The seatbelts are solidly mounted.

There is also the earlier Multivan box seats, which mount in the same position, but fix differently.

The wooden Westfalia buddy seats just mount on straps.

Should there be some mounting points for the jump seat in the cab seat box or do you have drill them?Have looked behind carpet and can't see anything.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I think you drill through and use a strengthening bracket inside.
