 |
|
Hi team, has anyone fitted Alfa Romeo 147 front seats into a Vanagon or T3/T25 Single cab or Doka, WITHOUT removing the original VW seat tracks on the truck? (And without chopping up a pair of VW seat bases).
I want to be able to put the original bench seat and driver's seat back into the single cab truck, if I get sick of the Alfa seats.
Cheers Brett |

Maybe look at seat bases for Recaros that GoWesty sells ? They are bolt in, easy and fast.
You'll spend more time cleaning under the seat area than actual bolting in the base.
Never heard of any alfa parts going into a Vanagon. Why alfa seats ? Happen to own a set ?
It's be cool to do I spose, you'd be the only guy on your block for sure. |

Yes, Recaros would be easier but hard to get (not impossible) here in New Zealand.
I have a pair of Alfa seats (I'm now not sure what model they came out of, they may have been out of a 156, I don't know).
I have had them stashed away for about five years, originally thought about putting them in a 1982 Westy I owned at the time but gave up on that idea due to height issues caused by the swivel seats.
At least in the T3 single cab, there are no swivels!
I will have to offer them up and see if I can make them happen. |
