Club 80-90 Forums

Hi Peeps,
The Driver and Passenger seats on my 88 Transporter are in need of replacing. Any advice on seats for a direct replacement, something confy of course with the same rail fittings cos I am errr challenged with a spanner

Two options....

1. have the seats re upholstered....(around £250)

2. seek out seats from a breakers or from fellas on here like billy739

(caravelle seats have armrests!)

oh and welcome to the forum..

Thank you...and hello too
Errr the existing seats and a bit lumpy with a spring or 2 poking through, so a re-upholster might not cut it. I will chase the leads you have given me. Any ideas about anything from another vehicle that might swap in?

The only vehicle that swaps directly without modification is.....another T25!

but ...VW made the transporter caravelle with a plush interior and those seats fit too.

I would ask an upholsterer what cuts it before binning them
I have seen miraculous work.
as long as the frames and springs are all there...the rest is foam and fabric

There goes the Easy swap heated Recarro bucket Idea then damn....
Sounds like good sound advice, thank you.




Anyone know any good upholsterers in the West Sussex area?

Or have a couple of Caravelle seats knocking around?
