Hi all - my front seats are looking very tatty and I'd like to replace them. I have swivel bases fitted to both the driver and passenger sides. So here's the thing - with a 34" inside leg I can just about fit comfortably under the steering wheel to drive at present... I've had a good look around on here and the wiki and have seen references to Saab seats and Porsche seats but can't seem to find the answer to my question - please help!

What alternative seats can I relatively easily (i.e. no welding) fix to the swivel bases that won't add more than a couple of cm to the overall height? (or maybe even lower the seat a little bit?). And what is involved in fitting them?

Thanks in advance!

you can get the seat boxes lowered a bit but costs just fit a smaller wheel, ive no pas and manage fine

It must be how us gav's are built! I'm 6'5" and 36" inside leg..... Get my van next week so that's the first job for me
In my old bay I fitted mk2 MR2 seats and they were ace!

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't fancy lowering the seat box tbh. Hadn't thought about a smaller wheel though. What fits/looks good?

Would MR2 seats fit easily in the T25? I used to have a mk3 MR2 with leather seats, they were so comfy - don't think they'd be quite the same in a van though!

define later... mk2?

err no , its down to taste/style and the spline size.
