saab 95 seat challenge

[tonyandhelen]

Well, Ive only gone and got my camper a lovely set of saab 95 seats.
Now let the fun begin, well tomorrow after scratching my head alot tonight.
Ive searched through the forums and found people who have fitted 95 seats however no guides. if anyone out there has fitted them some pointers would be great. Im going to take photos as i go along so hopefully this will help people in the future or show them how not to it. if it all works out ok. i will be selling the autosleeper seats which are in great condition, i just dont like the fabric.

hi, wish i was, working this weekend unfortunately.
i was hoping i wouldnt have to remove the old runners and use some sort of bracket system

[scottbott]

I have used my runners,I ran a suitable size nut 'through' the runner and made small plates and bolted them up to the runners then drilled the 'plates' the accept the runners from the saab seats,my saab seats were wider at the back that the front,been on for about three years now,are yours electric?

[tonyandhelen]

sounds like a good idea, they are elec,but i wont be bothering with that.
could you send me a photo of your runner with plate, i think i know what you mean though. thanks

I've done this.

I did try the nut in the runner thing, but it was a bit awkward.

In the end I just lined up the Saab runners on top of the old runners, used the old holes as guides, drilled through to the wheel arch, and using some new bolts and washers from screw fix fixed the seats in from underneath.

Wish I'd just done that first without trying other methods, it would have saved me hours of faffing.

I am planning on fitting a chair rotator on the passenger side, so I might grind off the old runners eventually.

Although I quite like the high driving position, and myself and my wife are pretty small so the clearance to the wheel is no big deal

Good luck.

Thanks for your help, fitted the passenger seat using your method onto a swivel plate, im hoping to do the same on the drivers side, however it looks like the seat will be to high?
