Thanks, i can't wait to get started on more of the camper conversion.....headed for the westy weekender style.....table and more storage.
In the mean time here is a seat project that i am working on.
I think that the stock seats were designed for someone a little wider than my 5'6" 140lbs frame. In order to not roll around in the seats while driving i have to pinch the armrest between my arm and torso. So I started working on new seats. 4 months ago i found a decent condition pair or seats out of a Land Rover disco at my local junkyard...Got the pair for $30
In this process i am mounting the drivers on the normal astro base and mounting the passenger on a swivel.....i am getting rid of the arc rails on both.
Junk yard astro bases to be used with the new seats
Removing the rivets that hold the rails on outer 2 from the top.... Inner two from the bottom
Rover seat is going to need a little cleaning but the bolstering is amazing.
Rails of the new seats and rails of the astro base are spot on in width :sombrero:
Junkyard swivel that will be under the passenger seat
Can't wait to get that swivel done!!
