ronnie_rotten Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 has anyone ever safely and legally fitted rear facing seats into the back of a 110, right up against the bulkhead? my understanding is that seatbelts would be optional (as rear facing) but advisable, i'd be fitting them anyway if i went ahead. they'd have to be properly secured, so i'd probably have a pro do it. could a rear seat from a rangie or jag or something suitably comfy be attached to a proper subframe and via that to the rear bodywork (with plenty of bracing, strengthening load spreaders etc etc)? opinions, pictures, warnings all accepted and appreciated.

Snagger Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I did something along those lines in my wife's Lightweight, using new fold-up sideways facing seats for the back of a Defender. My kids loved being driven around facing backwards, especially with the soft top rolled up. Have a look here: http://www.nickslandrover.co.uk/rear-seats/ I have removed the complete set as the vehicle has been sold and the buyer didn't want them, so it's available complete for £200 if you fancy it.

Snagger Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 They have been up for sale for a couple of weeks, and two others are showing interest at the moment.
