Yes, double storage !

There are some without at about £40 a pair ....

I just used some Aluminium pipe and longer SS bolts, with big SS washers, to mount mine so that I got them lower. Probably not the best method !?
65-70mm pipe at the back, and slightly shorter at the front, to match the reverse rake of the Touran base.

Need to vacuum !!

That looks so sketchy.

Am I right in that you’ve done away with the base & bolted directly to the floor?

God forbid but if you crash that van you will be leaving it through the windscreen in your ejector seat James Bond style. The washers are not even covering the tube properly. .
There is defo no strength in them tubes or even the bolts. But each and everyone to the own. Lol

Ps. That drill under the seat will also pierce you a new arsehole.

I'm being told some of the models with the vertical lever don't fold forward or in half but surely with the height lever and recline knob, what else would that lever do?

Lumbar support adjuster I assume, well that’s what the lever in my GTD did anyway.

Lever on the side of the seat back is lumbar (just by the seat belt buckle in this image.

Lever in the hinge pointing down is tip-forward / recline.

Non tippers have a lower hinge point like the drivers seat, but you can't really see it in this image.

Any one know the numbers of the connectors found on the seats of a caddy with heated seats?

I have found the numbers on the connectors attached to the VRS seats.
8E0972710, 1J0973119, 8K0973754.
Those will fit into 7L0972762, 1J0973332, 8K0972994. Ill have to buy those and solder those connectors onto ones that will fit on my harness in the caddy.
