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.

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

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

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!!!
