Need to replace front seats

Post by H.Mc »

My 1984 converted panel van has really grotty seats so was gonna head down the breakers for a pair of seast, I think I had read on that any vw, audi seats will fit. Am I right or do i need to look out for any specific seats/brands. Cheers

It's not as simple as that. In most cases you'll need to modify the runners on the seat, maybe even in the van. You need to make sure they're not too high (seat base too thick) as you'll have little room for your legs under the steering wheel.

There's some good info in the wiki
