delica seats
« on: August 14, 2011, 07:55:55 AM »
looking at going the  delica seat route for the front of the beddy
thinking of using the middle seats as they have two armrests, sure I have read the answer on here before but, do they fit with minimal mods or would I be better off getting the front seats and mounts

What should I expect to pay, there is a pair of middle seats 90k away on ebay for $200

Hey  Hotrod, make sure you send us pics of how and what you do. I was going to do a bostrom for my drivers seat, $3000. But having heard about KIA and DELICA i am looking at maybe going this rout, but will wait to see how you go. I NEED the swivel and armrest, and comfort. lol

George have you looked at Recaro seats? You can get them with arm rests for about $1400.

I'll have Recaro seats in my van within a few weeks. I don't have the arm rests though. Also the Recaro's are more bucket like so when cornering you are held in. Unlike the Kia seats where you just slide out.

Ok, i need something that hugs you, having no legs i tend to move around more then most. Can you post a pic when you get them in shane. Thats 3 to choose from, except that i am guessing the recaro dont swivel, so add around $150-$200 for a swivel plate.

I already have a bunch of Recaros here as I use them in all my cars. But I don't have any with arm rests. I'll get a picture for you.

My sister has a Kia so I have looked pretty closely at the seats  ;D The Recaros are race seats so hug your body a lot as you sit down in them almost.

recaro are good but have you ever tried to get in and out of them in a bedford????? remember..... you have to step UP and over something that generally has a steel wire frame then foam ,
1) might...WILL catch the landing gear ......men.
2)tear ANOTHER HOLE in the fusealage
3)lose the look and become "crushed"
4)wear through the foam,then the fabric, in maybe twelve months for daily driver......

Just a suggestion..get the same design(maybe not so pronounced)but with a good solid foam it'll be more forgiving getting in and out of your vans
Can I go play now...?
