Hi have tried searching but cannot find answer.
Can you simply fit a T4 seat into t25? and if so can you use t4 swivel?
thanks

Sure can, this is what I have.
Take runners off the swivel and attach seats to the swivel

Works for me too.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Early ones fit straight in, may need to trim the runners to fit.
I have one fitted way more comfy than original seat

Do they fit into the T25 runners then (apart from trimming them down) and what is "early"?

10 minutes with a grinder and they slip straight in.

Re: T4 cab seats in T25
Hi
have now got set of t4 seats -one with swivel. However they have the rails attached. How do i seperate the rails and runners is there an easy way or is it a grind off the tabs on the end of the rails ( the bit that would be fixed to the van in the t4?
to attach the swivel do i just drill holes through the existing rails on the T25 and bolt through to under the wheel arch as the bit the rails sit on is a closed section?
Sorry if this all sounds like simple stuff but i dont want to ruin a set of seats.
Thanks

Re: T4 cab seats in T25
If you have the rails and runners I'd just unbolt the ones from the van and bolt the T4 ones in.

Re: T4 cab seats in T25
I have a set of late T4 seats in my van...
it took a bit of fettling but i removed the T4 specific runners and bolted on the original seat runners.
Its a bit of a pain but they are comfy, have adjustable arm rests and in total ended up being less than half the price of a decent set of T3 captain seats.
