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 :D

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

Cheers guys ;)

Finally after waiting to get the right size spline socket :mad: 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..

Bit of a session yesterday.....

Time to weld this in

Image

Image

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

Image

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

Image

Slightly worrying seeing smoke coming from wheel arches :lol:

Image

Everything welded up and sound deadening fitted..

Image

Image

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

Image

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

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.
