Post by dubstar81 »

Hi guys
What maximum width can i get away with when fitting seats from another vehicle? I quite like the mondeo st24 half leather seats.

nothing is a straight fit, wiki saab seats seem close , but only if you get the correct model apparently.

best option is caravelle captain seats
yes they are expensive ,but for ease and prob the most comfortable you cant go wrong

My mate has Mk2 fiesta seats in his high top. A nice fit to be fair but finding a decent pair of those is going to be a challenge.
