delica seats

[wendyh]

Hey Wendyh have you got any good pics on how you put the seats in, you no the base and how far the head rest comes back, Pleeeeeease    pete

Hi sweet shock, i have uploaded some pics of our kia seats in my gallery,im on page five, go to registered & on the road section. Ray welded some bars under the kia seats so he couls bolt the seat straight onot the standard base. We were conscious of limiting the number of modifications done to the beddy. so we kept the base. Will try n upload a pic here otherwise i am on page 5 in gallery, look in restereged & on the road.

Also finially purchased some decent mirrors, as one day i was cruising up the f3 freeway in ther middle lane, went to overtake and nearly took out an XR6 . ...i looked in my mirrors yet he must have been sitiing in my blind spot  ...he wasnt a happy chappy seeing a big purple bum taking over his lane! So i got home and ordered some truck mirrors to fix that problem 
hope this helps

I 'm sold, KIA here i come, they look real rich in there wendy, love em. Do yours swivel on the beddy base. All you need to do is recover or throw on a charcoal lambs wool seatcover if you want a different look. I found this pic of a delica seat online yesterday, this is what i need. If i get a swivel then all i need to build is the air scisser lift to get me to a height to drive. I have a few contacts around that like a challenge. lol

Hi George. nah we deleted the swivel part as u would be sitiing up to high.Ray thought it may b a concern for engineers too so made it as simple as possible. There are not as comfy as my XR6 seats but hey they do u job real nice!

I've been trying to hunt down some Kia seats for a while now, seems they are slim pickings here in NZ

I've had Recaros in my Patrol for over 5 years now and the material is only just tearing now. The foam is still ok though.

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

Thanx wendyh they look very comfy

we found a set in a wrecking yard at 50 bucks each...Ray did know the guy well and we had to remove them ourselves... so they were a good score! 
remeber to get the second row as front ones only have one arm rest and grab the seat belts too as they are long enough to reach the floor and the buckle catches are attached to the seat.

Thanx wendyh they look very comfy

Hey no prob 

[Bedfordcrazy]

Hey wendy, do you have pic or 2 of the seatbelt mounted to the B pillar, i ask because they all seem to have different design mounts.

Hi George. plz see my gallery pics page five in restored & on the road or off to the left hand side if no one esle load pics to buga.
Ray recessed in the seat belt bracket opposit the arm rest a,d added a flat bar strap behind it that goes al the way to the floor and under the floor mount. made it nice n strong..the only trciky bit is getting the main bracket level as somedays the seat belts wont come out, other days they work fine, prob got to do with our driveway on a slight slope and those seat belt things are pretty touchy and the correct angle of the dangle    eheheheh ... i sorta worked out it will untrack when im powering forward.. so ur trying to drive change gears steer and pull out seat belt and put in ...keep it level as much as possible..
