Title: Front seats??
Post by: stuey on March 30, 2011, 09:03:38 PM: Hi all,

Can anyone recommend replacement seats for a MK1 Beddie ???
I'm trying to find some that swivel, with arm rests, there are some in a lot of jappa vans but was wondering if a base would be a cheaper option and just bolt my originals on.

Stuey.

Post by: greasey monkey on March 31, 2011, 09:37:04 PM: my suggestion is check out trade me, there is always plenty of "captains" chairs on there.
depending on your budget there is the swivels themselves

if you want to adapt your own preference of seats, but you would have to check for certification on the swivels
or ready to bolt in seats
ie http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Caravans-motorhomes/Parts-accessories/Furniture/auction-363973452.htm (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Caravans-motorhomes/Parts-accessories/Furniture/auction-363973452.htm)

this is the sort of style i'm looking at or similar for my swb beddy

Post by: Bedfordcrazy on July 29, 2011, 02:24:27 PM: Hey wendy, i like those seats, i am wondering if i can modify them to suit my situation. I need to lose the seat boxes, and come up with an air ram to lift the seat. Considering i am looking at $3000 for a bostrom, it maybe worth looking at designing an air base. mmm cogs are spinning. lol

Post by: Dano on July 29, 2011, 03:39:43 PM: George check out ur local GOOD boat shop, they generally have air bases and swivels too , see if you can get them past engineering?
Title: Re: Front seats??
Post by: Bedfordcrazy on July 29, 2011, 05:40:23 PM: engineering, mmmm thats why $3000 seats are that price, they are engineered.

Title: Re: Front seats??
Post by: Bedfordcrazy on July 30, 2011, 11:58:48 AM: Hi Shane, mate have not seen him for a while, good thinking 99. We built a custom drivers seat base in my hummer, so yeah, keith should be able to solve this one.
Hey wendy, or anyone, do the carnival seats have a built in seatbelt, or are they separate on the B pillar. Off we go to KIA to have a look.

Post by: wendyh on July 30, 2011, 01:48:49 PM: Hi George...Nah no built in seat belts ....they are seperate best to grab them if u r getting the seats as they are long enough to reach the floor...cars ones too short... 8)
