Mk2 seats

Postby ColinJack » Mon Jul 14, 2014 10:21 pm

Right aficionados ... Baz the Mk2 camper has well worn seats. Do I re-cover or will later seats fit (with a minor amount of modification)?

I fitted a later double seat into my Mk2. Small issues with the securing catch but bolted straight in in lieu of the single seat.

Hiya, are you looking for single or double passenger seat ? Loads of Smileys up here that are going begging, no good to me as mine are all older. I'm sure your Postie will hate me though !

Now got Baz back and driving 200 miles on those seats was deeply uncomfortable! :(
Anybody got a decent pair of Mk5 front seats they want to flog?
