ive been offered 5 rear seats (2 doubles and 1 single) from a 2005 transit minibus.
the gent is looking for £170 for them,
so my question is will they fit easy in my p reg 190 van and is the price good or not.

you could make them fit, you'd have to plate underneath were they're mounted, fit seatbelts etc :)
havent a clue on what there worth,

i was thinking of spreader plates below the floor, either 3mm or 5mm depending on what ive got hanging around and they already have belts fitted to the seat?

You can make anything fit but if you tell your insurance it will cause you problems as they want a peice of paper to say they have been fitted by registered pro

Sounds a good price to me, I had a pro company put a pair of seats in my 99 swb and they charged £400, did include seat belts and quick release mounts though.
I did fit my own side windows, and got a local garage to inspect and write a note out to say they were done correctly. This has satisfied the insurance.
