where can I get new front seats

Post by aarons56 »

Hello
I have spoken with Jennings Seats who sell seats to fit the T25 but do not have any in stock and may not have for a while. I am hoping to make some longer journeys over Easter and would like increased comfort before the journey starts. Is there anyone else out there who can supply new replacement seats in the next couple of weeks.
thanks

You could fit some Saab seats. Readily available on eBay but got mine from a breakers. The Wikipedia is worth looking at to fit them.

Thanks for the Saab option - I have got very used to armrests. I really like the look of those Caravelle seats - are they old seats with a respring and reupholster?

Many thanks. They look amazing. My ideal outcome is to get new seats, although I would be more than happy if mine looked like yours! In the meantime if anyone has managed to get hold of new replacements, do let me know. I am starting to reconsider the Saab seat option. Are there issues of space between seat and steering wheel to consider and can anyone comment on the support side of the seats? I currently have arm rests which amongst other things have the advantage of 'holding the passenger or driver in place and am keen on these for seat replacements but do not need to be wedded to them.

thanks
