Replacing single seat passenger seat with bench seat.

[cream69]

Bought a ex BT,1999, 120 SWB transit about 3 years ago.
Passenger seat is single seat with a storage box in the middle.
Is replacing it with a bench seat straight forward?
Does this also effect my insurance as well?
Many thanks.

mounts on the floor are the saem so fairly strait forward cant see it affecting your insurance as far as i know they dont know how many seats are up front

You will need to tell the insurance company though.

Attempted today using a benchseat from a r reg 1997 transit,
unfortunely the holes or mounts on the floor were too wide.
Do not want to drill new hoes
Would any of the newer transit van benchseat fit?

[MrMPuk]

The one you have will fit, the holes are there for it.

update:
Attempted to replace the single seater with my previous L reg bench seat and we
simply cannot find the holes for it. The present holes are an inch or two narrower.
We've got no option but to drill new holes

i think the problem might be mk4 to mk5 L reg is a mk4 any seat from a 95 on in a 95 on should be a strait fit

would a 1999 benchseat fit perfectly?

well i'd have been 99% sure it would but a 1997 one should have too

you will have to tear the strips on the rubber floor covering off to see the bolt holes
