Staffo86 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi I'm new to posting so here goes I wanna fit forward facing seats to my d90, the seats I wanna fit r Audi a3 seats I've fitted them in the front no problem a lot more comfy, I'm going to remove the bulkhead an fit a bar the question is the Audi seats are abit tall jus to fit in d bac as dey r I was wondering how much can you cut off and lower the wheel boxes so I can fit d seats I've got a 2" lift kit on 265x70x16 tyres and 30mm spacers so there's lots of clearance between tyres and inner wheel box. There roughly 10" tall by 11" deep give a take need to take arnd 4" or 5" off both would that be possible sorry about pic but that's an example wot I mean hope some1 can help.

Big.Mike Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You'd hit the top of the spring seats, so it wouldn't be possible. I can't see a picture. Also the forum has a suggestion on using proper English, we're pretty liberal with spelling and grammar, this might be pushing it a little. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingybox Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hasn't the Puma got recessed wheelarches? I'm sure I've seen a kit where the wheelarches can be modified with recesses to enable the Puma's forward facing seats to be fitted into older Defenders. I can't, for the life of me, remember where I saw it... Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yep, they have Bob, but they are only a little deep and don't protrude into the wheel arch much. 4-5 inches might be a little much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingybox Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 But with a 2" lift, 265/70R16 (which have a slightly smaller diameter than the standard Land Rover tyre - 235/85R16) and 30mm spacers...? Staffo86 might not get 4-5 inches but it'll be pretty damn close! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's not when they are in a static position, more when the axles are articulated or when you hit a pothole at 80mph. It's a risky thing to do. If you can calculate the maximum movement then it would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi Staffo! Just asking, not getting at you, mind you - are you dyslexic, by any chance? The reason I ask is that your writing style is very similar to that used by some dyslexic people I know. If you are dyslexic, you might want to put a signature in your profile to that effect. The reason why the posters above are repeatedly making the point about English is that we have a lot of people posing here who don't have English as their first language and can't cope with telegram speak. Anyway - sorry if this sounds like I'm having a go, I don't mean to, but I've had a really rotten day and am as grumpy as hell, as a result I'm not as diplomatic as I can be.

Scotts90 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I've no idea how much metal the csk kit removes. A friendly phone call or email to them may be helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big.Mike Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi gazzar no I'm not m8 I'm jus ust to txtin a lot dats all cheers 4 caring do xx Well please use correct English on here, it's confusing for members who are dyslexic and for those who's first language might not be English. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
