here we go...

must say, i felt a little bad as i walked back in chuckling to myself still, it works fine, is comfortable and most importantly, leaves space to get my hands round the wheel. Rescued attachment seat.JPG

Bin bag and foam is a good cheap option, but doesn't suit every car

a more long term solution will just be to glue some stiff foam in. I have no space for seats (lanky bastard!) and cant bear the unnecessary weight anyway.

I got a pair of high back minibus seats for £25. Steel frame so easy to fit and they are 16" wide. Job done.

make some custom ones moulded to your back by filling a bin bag with expanding foam. no sure whay you would use as the cover.

Front Seats - I can measure a seat pad and back if you want - it will be the Deluxe ones...!

IIRC it was £85 for a complete set for the front (thats 3 lots..!)

I have a middle seat pad and back in my chassis at the moment they fit quite well as I have an offset capri axle. The passenger side could take a standard seat base. Try getting some from a scrappie first before you buy new ones! Most Land Rover people will have a few spares:-)

I have some fiat 126 seats that I will try and see if they drop in the car this evening.

I'm not using them but they are tiny!

I'm using 2 part foam and bags, did the drivers one the other night and it worked a treat, very comfortable and extra light!!!
