Thanks Eric,

Started stripping out the middle seats today, with the belts away its the perfect time to measure up for the rear recaros.

I should have something for you by the way in the next day or so.. Thumbs Up Andy

Hi Andy, did you take a photo of the two premium front seats fitted? Whilst I'm sure you'll post pics of the Recaros in the middle, i know I can't aford them but the fronts in the middle might happen one day so be interested what they look like? What your plan for the middle?

The subframe I will make will be suitable for the premium or Land Rover recaro as they won't use the runners... I will def take some pictures of this for you with 2 premiums fitted one behind the other.... It was my original plan to try 4 premiums but I got lucky on the recaros! Andy

First set I managed at cost, second set are used, started off as Ken's on here Bow down have to say the Land Rover recaros are class, I had some SVX ones but to be honest the accessory ones are better, nicer material.. Just hope it goes ok without too much hassle! Andy

On that matter, there is a PM I sent you 5 days ago which still sits in my outbox. Take a look. Thumbs Up
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

A lot of running about today! The second set of recaros arrived along with the other pieces i want to include in the second row so i made a start scanning the inside, a seat and the other bits... I will bascially bring this all into CAD now and design the subframes...

Here the kit and a preview of some data... Cool

Cheers mate!

The only grey area is the angle I make the bases mount at, do I keep it the same as the front, or flatter, will need to do a bit more measuring up!

This is the best picture I have from twisted and it looks like they have kept the base mounted flat

Have you considered reclining 2nd row bases? Or adjustable on the front edge ?

No hadn't, you don't have a lot of depth under the base but I am confident I can get it right. I am going to set the single standard seat back in today and scan it in position, I can then overlay the recaro data on its position and then design backwards from there. Andy

Have followed Andy's thread for some time and have to admit to being somewhat stumped for words with this latest development.

The best I can manage is:
