Land rover seats
Has anybody successfully used landrover seats in their builds?
They are hardly really seats, but when I went in a mate's landy (ex military one) the other day and the centre seat of the three cab seats
looked like a very likely candidate for the locost.
I am just after something to get me through sva, after which I plan on a few seating experiments!

Centers
I was planing on using the Deluxe Style (Series 3) center seat in mine but I found I had trouble reaching the steering wheel so I just bought a set
of Kirkey seats for $99 ea.

Haven got a center seat to try, but the driver/passenger seats could be adapted.
New base and probably new fabric/vynal (or whatever it is), combined with the shaped foam from landrover seat.
Why oh why did we get all the landrovers scraped

I had a look at using Defender seats ( I had a spare one at the time), but they were still a bit too wide even for a Viento. I asked these guys too
http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/
but even their seats were still too wide. However I didn't ask the question as to whether they would make a narrower seat. Worth a try
though.
Edit: In fact they do DIY re-trim parts as well if that helps?

What About the Trackers hi Back rear seats? they are narrower than the front seats. Traqckers are a separate squab and (hi) back. Made by Trackers. I
have a set in my Landy. They have had 10 years of family every day use and are still in good condition. ie Hard wearing. reasonably comfortable, Ive
done a fair few miles on them!. They are the Second row seats on a Long Wheel Basy County or Safari, ie forward facing behind the driver in a 12 seat
Landy.
not cheap at £50 each, but Trackers kit is good quality.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
