Club 80-90 Forums

Hey guys. Only owned our van for 2 months now, but just passed its first MOT in over 8 years!! The seats are not standard and are really tired . Was wandering how common and easy T4 seats are to fit? Haven't seen many in any threads or maybe in just not looking hard enough
I was thinking of the full set up. T4 front seat with the bench seat, There's 3 styles to choose from by the look of it. But I cant see why I cant get them to fit.
Anyone tried? is it possible?

Don't think you'll get a bench seat to fit as they have a different base to the single seat.

The single seat will fit with a bit of work to cut the runners down

This is a repost, I put it in the wrong topic sorry for spamming:-

I actually did this mod a while ago but I've been doing a lot of work on the van recently (mainly a new coat of paint ) and decided that I'd share
my new front T4 driver and bench seat

I knew that I needed an early 90's set as the later models come with a middle 3 point belt, this would get it the way of the passanger seat base.
Ebay, as per usual had the answer. £50 . And off to Brighton we went. (wish the guy selling them had warned me that it was pride weekend, but thats another story...)

So the drivers seat was a breeze to fit, just had to cut down the runners a little to fit the T25 ones (pic to follow)
And with MM's advice I set about removing all unwanted metal from the seat base of the twin bench.
My first idea didnt go to great, but no turning back.
I ended up cutting the entire lower section of the base away so there was only the rim that holds the seat in place remaining.
This was the perfect hight as it matched the hight of the drivers side. Just as I had planned
so then I reinforced what was left of the base with some 1'' box section making a frame to fit inside and for support on the overhang side.
I may add I learnt to weld this day too, but as long as it didnt move I was happy

Thats pretty much it without pictures, I'll put some up tomorrw. I just wanted to share as I'm well chuffed with it
