Folding front seat after removing the bulk head.

Postby jamesallen3333 » Sun Mar 29, 2015 8:27 pm

Hello peeps!

I have been scouring the intaweb for a dual folding front passenger seat that will fit straight into my 06 plate Transit. I have removed the bulk head and would love the front seats to flip forwards, so that I can fit 4m carpets inside the van and shut the doors.

Do they exist???? I have found them for numerous other makes (mostly t4/5 VW's) but for the life of me can't find one for Ford.

I would hack the original one up and convert it, but I will occasionally have my kids in the van so thought I should buy a crash tested one that is supposed to fit. instead of modifying the original or making the t5 one fit.

Did you manage to find a solution to this problem as I want to do the exact same thing?

Here's a crazy thought, would a tourneo double legally go in the front? They gold forward don't they and have seatbelts, no idea if they are too wide tho :oops:

The seats out of the newish Nissan nv400/Renault master have a split front seat. The center seat folds flat, going to measure one up in Wednesday see if I can get it to fit. Might need some welding/fabrication.

Will post my findings.

Did you ever work this out? I want to do this, but with a 2018 transit. I'm also interested in a folding front seat (preferably split) so one can be folded down after bulkhead is removed for access to the front if necessary when using it as a camper van.
