Saab front seats

[kevtherev]

Yes they were.. the upholsterer filled them to look a bit more modern.
They feel like they were made that way, I can't tell that they are brown plastic underneath..All inclusive!!

That steering in the picture looks nothing like mine.
Is it smaller than the original?

[kevtherev]

Nope it's an optical illusion ..it's just fatter.
Just a caravelle steering wheel, same diameter or as near as damn it

"I wouldn't call it grief"

Yeah no probs really, I'll probably go for saab (price wise and another thread? (they're spot on actually, that blue van is a spitting image of mine) when I've a drive way to park on and a power source for an angle grinder and when I've also fixed the half dozen maintenance issues that need doing and the other half dozen glued temporary jobs I've already done lol.

I'm also just recovering from fitting an ortec spare wheel carrier the day before (sore muscles/ego) and a bloody stuck arm in the air vent ,arghh, 12 precision holes I had to drill with a rechargeable drill/300w inverter/? yeah it was easy, put it off 2 months thinking I'd have to rip half me wardrobe out until I poked around but it was grief until it was done.

btw I'm from Yorkshire yeah lets not go there

Moan over.

Porsche tombstones are avery easy fit.

Drill out spot welds on old runners and remove them. Then just drill and mount rails for porker seats. Almnost exactly same width. Guess you could leave OE runners welded in and bolt thr them incase you ever wanted to go back to standard.

The steering wheel on Kevs van looks the dogs.
Where did it come from.

Looks like it is the standard, smaller 42 cm diameter "thick" wheel that was fitted to vans with power steering.
The centre section (without the usual, ugly vertical strips) looks like the vanagon variant as fitted on US models (and some continental vanagons)

The Saab seat I have are not like those on WiKi.
Thay are Saab 9-5 and the seat base looks different to the 900's.
Has anyone fitted my ones?
Any advice appreciated.

Foxley. i have fitted saab 9-5 or 9-5 and best way i found was to take out anything in the way of just bolting unit to the floor or welding saab runners to floor. So i drilled out spot welds on old runners, but if you have angle grinder etc you can cut down the base on the saab seats to make them drop about another 40-50mm. T
