been looking into this for a few weeks, went for a trip to the dealers to see what parts i require and to have a look at the underside of a 90 they weren't very positive and multiple times told me it can't be done (before i showed them photos)
Have been quoted Ł850 to have them installed once i source all the parts, this includes a full carpeting to the rear my main question is, does the underside of a station wagon have different brackets etc underneath? im looking to not cut the side of the back and just modify the brackets slightly plan to buy the rear seats that are currently advertised on here.. if i buy these seats, what else am i going to need?  Click image to enlarge ive found these EIO500060 EIO500070 which appear to mount onto the cross member (see pic when it can be uploaded) for some reason i cant upload photos at the moment but of the ones i took at the dealers, there appears to be a black plate on the underside which the seat mounts bolt into? would my car have this Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  Last edited by Likeomg on 27th Oct 2013 12:40pm.

can't help with your specific problem, sorry - but my 110 utility had these fitted and they were very good-
http://www.exmoortrimshop.com/index.php?pa...p;Itemid=3 require no extra bracketry, just bolt through the floor and the arches. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

yeah, it works ok in a 110 as you can enter from the second row...
maybe worth contacting Killer90 - he's done it, although he fitted the newer style sides(see below) http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17220.html but the picture you posted seems to show it done without replacing sides Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Hi, ive contacted 4 local (ish) garages, got 1 quote back which was Ł850 for the install given that i source all the parts which is the main problem - this price would include carpeting the rear

Personally id go with the genuine seats look great, quite comfortable, just take up a fair bit of space but for my occasional use they are ideal! I can have a little look under mine if you have any questions? Mine are factory fitted

Blimey, looking at the price of those, maybe I need to rethink my asking price and up it!  |

Does anyone know who makes the conversion inserts for the rear tub?? I could never find them on eBay?
