Hey, peeps!

I was just reading thru the tech articles, and came to seat installation. Nothing REAL interesting (no offence to the author :)).

I thought I'd better share my seat mod for my '84 1200 Ute. Grab a seat from a mid 90's Australia post van, which just happens to be a nice (brown) Stratos. I found both of mine from truck wrecking yards. I didn't even have to worry about the colour because it matches the interior!!!

Now comes the easy part. Grab the original Datto seat rails and modify them like this:




(Sorry I don't have photos - I didn't have a digital camera then....)

THAT'S IT!!!!

Bolt the seat to the rail. That's right. The seat mount widths are the same width as the 1200's!!!

Install them!!!

Now, ride in comfort! They're a little low, but that's the way I like it, yeah!




(Excuse the condition of the seats - my girlfriend is going to retrim them soon (She's a seamstress - Besides - I only paid $120 for the pair...)
I knew Australia Post was good for something!
