Would like to add arm rests to non-Captain's front seats

Post by aahyoo »

Hi Guys,

Apologies if this is something that has already been covered - I can't see anything in the Wiki or the forum history.....

I am having my van reupholstered soon and would like some arm rests, so it's really a now or never situation.

I have an '87 Richard Holdsworth Villa 3 interior with standard seats on turntables. Do I need to buy Caravelle 'Captains seats' or is there a way (tried and tested) of adding some - either replacement ones, pre-owned or even from something different!

If I don't do this soon I probably won't ever, so any genuine suggestions are welcomed. If anyone has pics of a standard seat minus the cloth and foam that would be good to see how modification would be possible without using a blade.

Thanks in advance

remember seeing a company a couple of years ago that sold armrests for various motors,new mini's etc,various sizes and styles but cannot think of their name,they were uk based and maybe agents for the armrests as I think they were german made
