In my old t25 i had a neat fold down seat behing the passenger seat. It was a steel frame and had the same trim as the rest of the van. In my new t25 i could do with the same as i have 3 children.

This is the link to volkszone where it was for sale, you can just see in a couple of pics.

Please will someone let me know what it is, it was very usefuls as when not in use it fould fold back up and you had all the floor space.

many thanks

from what i was told when i was looking for one, is that it's a buddy seat from a viking conversion. Rocking horse poo springs to mind, i never managed to find one.
You can get other types, just put vw buddy seat in ebay, something normally comes up like the ones i've got

i may know where there is one of those like pictured above, not sure if its still there or for sale, but i could maybe find out.......

you are right and here it is http://www.justkampers.com/marketplace/ ... _available" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you mean this sort







then yes they were fitted to the early eighties 'Xplorer' conversion with the Viking spacemaker elevating roof. They are rocking horse poo - took me four years to get me mitts on one

E D I T Just opened your vzi link - yes, that's the Xplorer. Why did you sell it?

I had to sell it to move house, we have a high top now that needs the body sorting then I'm going to roller it.

I have some parts of one of these in my shed from a bay window I think, its a lot lighter weight with a fold down leg from memory, i'll have a dig if anyones interested

Caravelle Multivan 'jump seats', an original option, and pretty rare. If you want some be prepared to be patient, or keep looking at German Ebay. eg. http://cgi.ebay.de/VW-T2-T3-Syncro-Mult ... 4aaaa537cc

Looks like this will do the trick

does it just bolt back to the metal behind the passenger seat?

bracket bolts to battery box, seat legs fit in two mounts in floor and quick release fitting to bracket, could take a couple of pics if you like?

that would be great, thanks

Hi Lloydy
Is there any chance I could also have a look at the pics of your seat fixings? I bought one of these on ebay.de recently, but I have a panel van with a ply floor so I'm not sure whether I'm missing some fixings (he supplied the battery box fixings but I'm not sure about the ones for the floor).

For anyone looking for one on ebay.de, keep searching for 'back2back sitz' or 'b2b sitz'. They're often listed under bluestar/whitestar as I think these were mainly what they were fitted to. My seller was in the T3 trade and was really good - could dig out his name if you anyone wanted. He didn't advertise postage to UK on his listing but I asked nicely after I bought it, and he sent it for aout 25 euros with hermes.

Cheers,
John

Ah! The search function delivered the answer to my questions in the end!
At the risk of hijacking someone elses thread to answer my own query, carrying on my search led me to this fantastic thread on how to install one of these jump seat. I thought I'd cross post in case anyone else was interested...

Hopefully I can find an easier way for the floor fastenings though...
