Re: The caddy project
Got the same seats with touran bases in my 2007 tdi caddy. Morally comfy and very supportive. And I'm 6ft4 and 17 stone. Lol. I may have a Kenwood touch screen sat nav DVD Bluetooth coming up for sale and a complete touran bumper

Re: The caddy project
Doing it that way sounds good but do you find you sit too low in vehicle. Mind you I'm 6 ft 4. Lol.

Re: The caddy project
Cheers guys 
Finally after waiting to get the right size spline socket
I sourced some touran bases last week and set about fitting today - I'm missing one of the bolts for the seats which fit into H frame so if anyone has one laying around could they give me a shout as the standard caddy seat bolts aren't the right size.




Can't believe how much better the are than the standard caddy ones so if anyone's considering- do it!
I got the back seats with these, they were in a bit of a mess so now cleaned and ready to be stripped down as I need to use the fabric..

Re: The caddy project
Bit of a session yesterday.....
Time to weld this in


Made these cutting ten pieces with 10mm holes drilled in, these were placed under van floor to help bolt hold brackets down

Then as I've never welded before I passed this bit over to a friend

Slightly worrying seeing smoke coming from wheel arches

Everything welded up and sound deadening fitted..


Seat belts in but just need to collect some bolts from vw for the top belt mounts and sort the lower belt mounting bolts

Seats in, they match quite well to the GT front ones

Re: The caddy project
Thanks, are you talking about the lower seatbelt mount points?? I'm planning on using a 12mm bolt with nylon nut and spacer on top and bolt/spacer underneath.Gibbo185 wrote:Hi sorry to but in on your page but call rus on 0797020965233 at sirus ref lower bolts as need a sleeve to stop floor crushing he sold me a set bolts and need a 16mm hole bore

Re: The caddy project
The Tarmacs look good but you can't go wrong with some Helios
