Thats outrageous,where did you get the quote from Fin.
I was just going to cover them in 15 quids worth of vinyl.

yeah i think thats what ill be doing now but i did want them to be properly made for comfort. ah well

cheers

I've got a pair of Midi van seat swaiting and had come to the conclusion a while ago it'd be a DIY job. There was acompany advertising in the kit car mags and at the shows for a kit, consisting of two pre-made covers for these seats. I think they weren't cheap though, £180 springs to mind. If I can locate details I'll post them.

cheers ill wait for your post.

Just a point that i may have mentioned before, but here goes---- unless i've not followed the book properly for the standard chassis, bedford rascal seats need to be cut down (width) to fit in the cockpit, 1" passenger & 2" drivers side, also removal of reclining mech knob, and its best to weld up recliner pivots. What seemed an easy job at the time has turned into a rather large task, now all there is to do is recover them...!!!!
cheers
phil............

im not sure you have to modify the seat chassis apart from removing the reclining mech. i could be wrong, look in bobs photos about the 3rd photo down. those seats are the ones ive got (thanks Bob ) and they seem to fit quite well.

cheers
fin

anyhoo, Bob where did you get your vinyl from?

I think bob is building a mk indy which i presume is a fair bit wider than standard because it is sierra based, wider track allows more cockpit space = fitting of wider seats. The dimensions of my book cockpit are as close as damn it to those given in the book and I have had to chop my rascal seats to get them to fit .
Aint life a bitch!!!
Phil..............

42" i think,so thats about book size or near as dam it

The vinyl came from Stoneleigh last year.
Woolies are the big name in interior edging and bits

cheers
