Front bench seat to single seat conversion

Postby DIGGER73 » Thu Nov 26, 2020 1:32 pm

We've got a heated front passenger bench seat we'd like to change to a single heated passenger seat in our transit custom converted campervan. Does anyone have any experience with this and would like to share? Prices etc would be useful as a guide. TIA.

Your biggest problem will be finding one when you get one it’s just unbolt it 5 boils on old one four on the new some say they are rib bolts I used torq bit if you can spray the bolts underneath with wd 40 a few times as for electrical connections they may have the same plug .

Thank you Dumper. They are like rocking horse... but we still hold out hope of finding one.

They are expensive...

£650-£700 appears to be the going rate

Hi, Did you manage to do this?
I'm looking at doing the opposite, mines been converted to the single seat and the dash has an extra part however I want the bench seat back and the flat dash.

Did you manage to get sorted? I'm looking for a single so would be happy to do a swap for my double, where abouts in the country are you?

I did not see a response to the query re which country. I am in Australia and have a double seat for anyone who wants it. I replaced mine with a seat from a Nissan Elgrande from a Japanese used car importer and paid AUD$100 for it.
