I have just had mine upholstered



I was going to ask the same question, how to fit the seat in my panel van.

how much did it cost just to get the bench upholstered?

dont suppose anyone has a pic of how the seat is fixed with them box section bracket things
all i have is 4 of theese , i think i have more bolts missing !

Its not a great pic but here you go...

no, 4 box section brackets are enough as u can see on pic above, 2 each side and then 4 bolts in total too

brilliant , thanks for the pic robin ! looks like i just need to get some bolts made up !!

it cost me £170, he's also done the front bench seat and the drivers one too, he's slow but it's worth the wait

now apart from the bench pin extension, I also need to cut a whole in the plastic on both sides for the rear 3 point seatbelts (for some reason did Multivans not have rear 3 point seat belts?)

anyone done this before? any suggestions.

I was just gonna try drilling some holes and then make the square form same as the hole for the lap belt.

smcd999, if you end up butchering the long side trim and not using the table I'd be interested in buying it - I want to stick a fold up table in a rhd caravelle and have been after one for a while. All I've seen for sale have been silly money full interiors and all I really need is the hinge bit, table top itself and ideally the recessed bit it fits in maybe a couple of inches widerthan the recess.

Hi, can u provide a diagram or dimensions for the Bench back pin extension blank please.

So Ive got all the panels and the bench in,even though the back is not supported at the moment.

On t'other sidetoo, but wil my caravelle GL sliding door card

and in the boot space, the 2 side panels.I had to cut out the holes for the seat belts myself. Drilling many holes, hack sawing the square out and then filing down.

There are various different multivan interior fittings, mine has the plastic panels with the seat back supports molded in, no pins to worry about which made it a real easy fit, and didn't have rear seat belts fitted like yours so I had to cut the holes, but I've seen multivans with rear 3 point seat belts fitted and the panels with holes and the hole covers fitted from new.
Do you know what year and model van your interior is out of ?

I've added the rear seat belts afterwards too. Had 2 find the mount points behind the fabric etc for the upper mount point and also cut the holes in panel so that the belt can come through it.

But unfortunately the van has dissapeared from the scrapyard now. I'm not sure of the model
