Hi guys and gals
I'm looking for a pair of seats to fit the original seat frames, the frames that are in my van at the moment have been modified roughly to fit the seats that were put in and I'd rather get them back to original to save myself a headache when i go to register. I think that these are the original seat frames but I'm sure you guys will be able to tell me from the photo below if they're not.
if they are original do you guys know of any other seats that would bolt on to the original frame without modifying it. or even better does any one have any original seats they want to sell?
Thanks

Ok, looks like from photo these have had an extra flange welded on to the right side, but the holes on the original base are still there, so the standard seats can still be used. You have 2 options now with that set up.

I agree but the tall round one one the left looks suss as :D ;D :D ;D 8)

yeah that welded a bit of flat bar on the side to widen it to for these seats. if i clean it up and paint it i might get away with but then again i might get an inspector that might spot it.
also i don't how strong that is.

If putting standard seats back in then cut it off, gring it up and paint.......... and yes don't forget to put the radio back in the cut out ;D

The passenger base can also be shortened
and all the vans come out with bolts holes on the passenger side, they just usually filled with sealer or junk so single can be used instead of double without drilling any new holes - factory ;)

Take a tape messure ang head to a wreckers, look at the smaller Jap cars as they tend to have smaller seats, I vaugly remeber someone installing Magna seat.
Modify the seat base to suit, often the bolt holes to secure them are in the slider tracks.
Remove any rough/sharp edges and repaint to a common colour so it looks like factory :)

Thanks Warren
tried to go to the wreckers with measurements on the weekend and the ones that were open weren't too keen on letting me walk around the yard to try and find some seats, but hopefully now I've got a model to look for they'll let me look.

I thought my seats where standard till some one I was speaking to the other week told me they are early Gemini seats (not to sure), the reason I thought they were original was the bases don't look modified and Ive never had a van with original seats.
So maybe Gemini seats might work.

Early Range Rover 4x4 have simular bases and best of all the seats have inertia seat belts built into them check them out
