 |
|
Have been hearing rumors that camper front seats vs transporter front seats are different heights accommodating the swivel and since I've swapped into my bay a set of transporter seats, and they sit quite high, I'm wondering if there is a different set that sits lower that's availibile?
Or are eurovan seats able to sit a bit lower? I'm thinking 2-3 inches passenger side and 1-2 drivers side needs to come off.
Fit well in my 80 but still a tad tall there too, but mostly asking for the 78.
Thanks guys! And I searched but may have missed it...

From my recollection, seats installed in westys had foam that was about 1" shorter.
You could remove the foam from your current seats and trim the bottoms some.
The eurovan seats I had in my van did not appear to be any taller than the stock westy seats. I do not believe they were noticeably shorter though.  Hopefully someone can provide a measurement for you.
