adam300Tdi90 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Range rover classic seats, have the same width mountings as standard 90 seats, but shorter depth. I replaced the seat box covers with thicker steel. Used the front mounts to bolt through the seat runners, then the new steel plate, then into the seat box. The rear of the front seats mount through the new steel plate, and the rear of the steel plate bolts to the standard seat mounts. Easy.. But annoying you can't get to the batteries easily. I have used an 'Anderson' plug from one of the batteries just in case I ever have to jump it or somebody else... then you can buy (or make) some special 'anderson to battery clip' leads for jump leads...

tomaco1 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I used corbeau gts II with a set of rails made by a guy in the states, kind of a quick release system. I can get some pics if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draper40 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I picked up the whole interior of a classic range rover for £80. Fitted the back bench seat in my 90 then sold the RRC front seats for £100, so they cost me -£20!! Very comfy and they tip so you can still access the battery!

Pappa Smurf Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I find retrimmed standard seats are perfectly comfortable. Easy to do at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
