Defender Bucket Seats?
« on: January 29, 2006, 11:14:50 »
Hi, ive spent the last 3 days trying to find some suitable bucket seats for my Defender 90 and to no avail, so though i would try here. Does anyone know of any make/type, whatever that will fit into a defender with some space to spare? Cheers all.

Macro - Its a National wholesalers but you need a card to get in. Ask around, someone you know is bound to have one, they're pretty common!

i have sparco buckets in my racer  (the vinyl offroad ones) & if you plan of fitting then to a truck cab if you are tall they dont go all the way back,also a smaller steering wheel is an advantage  :wink:

I've got Cobra Daytona's in the front of HL, fully adjustable & plenty of room for a cubby in the middle

Ridgard seats fit very nicely in a truck cab. In fact I need to move the driver's seat forward about an inch, although I can actually reach the pedals, unlike when I tried to drive Henry's Disco.

The problem with them is likely to be that you would have needed your numbers to have come up yesterday!

Don't take this as a negative post - but how often do you use you Defender?? Ifregularly then think long and hard about putting buckets in.

Getting in and out is difficult, you have cost of changing seat belts and also no easy access to under seat anymore. Just thought I would mention it.

As mentioned above Cobra do many seats that will fit,Daytona and Monaco are popular. You can get a set of seat rails to fit Defender from Exmoor Trim. Also have a look on ebay as these pop up there often and even new are a lot cheaper.

Cheers

Steve
