TonkaIIa Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi all, I'm currently looking at some seat's to fit into the Series IIa, the old ones have worn out. I've found some which come out of a Freelander 2005 model. Would these be OK to fit into the Series?? with some adjustments made to fit.

secondjeremy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I had a Series 11a with well bolstered car seats in it (may have been Montego) and there were a number of issues - like everyone seemed to hit their head on the gutter over the door when getting in, and the driving position seemed cramped as the seat pushed you forward into the steering wheel (small Montego one) On getting out of it into a Series 11a with standard seats I was immediately struck by how spacious it was in the cab! I'm not saying the Freelander seats won't be an improvement - just saying - make sure they will be before going to a lot of trouble to fit them - and when you do don't be too clever about hiding the bolts as you may be the unfortunate person who has to remove them. (These were held down by M6 bolts and rivnuts and several bolts would only come out 1/2 flat at a time with an open ended spanner!) The thing was in fact very good to drive with parabolics, a Prima turbo engine, Range Rover diffs and 206 x 16 tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
