landroversforever Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 A friend at work is putting Puma rear seats into his Td5 90. He has the seats already and all the bracketry to fit them. However, the Pumas with the folding, forward-facing, seats in the rear have a slightly different shape to them. Some of this he has worked out from the seats them selves but the rest of it... well thats where the Lr4x4 community comes in! Could someone measure the wheelboxes and throw a sketch together? Once he has the info he can finish making the drawings and get it all fitted. Once its all fitted he said I'm free to have all the info to put up on here, all the parts lists of what is needed and the drawings to make the parts to modify the wheel boxes (Mods, maybe good for the tech archive when I have it?) Thanks in advance everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Puma rear inner arch is a different shape, IIRC there is a photo in here somewhere. front facing fold up seats http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/30/45088/ seat hinge brackets http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/30/45086/ seat back & cushion http://www.numcat.ru/landrover/p/30/45087/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks Ralph, we know the shape is different, its that different shape he is making and needs dimensions for. He has everything else needed after much tracking down. The idea being once its fitted and known good he would give me the complete parts list and drawings for the wheel box adaptions to post here .

western Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I see, converting the arch to match the newer vehicles, bit of a big job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Someone, (YRM maybe?) does a conversion panel for the top and side of the wheel arch for this exact purpose. Cut your old bit out, some riverts and sealant later and it's all ready for Puma seat fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartle9 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Got my wheel box modification via eBay from a guy recommended by a couple of other people that have done the same. Seller ID is measures2931. Really happy with them - he's put a lot of thought into it with double skinned sections where appropriate etc. and we're really easy to fit. I'd considered fabricating my own, but these were ideal. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 These people sell the modification off the shelf. Might give you something to go off if you don't want to fork out £160 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-FWD-facing-Rear-Seat-MODIFICATION-/230871386855?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35c101cae7&_uhb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
