Caravelle/Multivan rear cushion

Post by silverbullet »

Having sold my 2wd, I realize that I forgot to measure the thickness of the rear cushion for the syncro!

The cushion over the engine? Sounds a lot thicker than the one I had in the old bus...

I cant measure it myself because the seats are fully dismantled.

foam is 10cm being German made with the cover on 4", again Multivan but I'd be surprised if the Caravelle version is any different, parts catalogue is no help

I'll get some 100mm or two layers of 50mm in then. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I reckon the cushion in the back of the small window Microbus must have been sub-standard.

The SA ones are different foam, locally sourced, to the Westfalia ones, I love the Westie foam density it is just right and long lived and doesn't compress over time, the SA ones aren't as firm

For the record, what are the overall maximum dims of the cushion? I'll have to get a piece cut anyway.
