Why bother drilling holes, it only makes it illegal that way as you have modified the mounts.
agreed that is dodgy as its not hard...

I started to swap the rails and tracks over but didnt find it to be required. Sure the original track on the left side of the drivers protrudes past the original hole in the floor pan by an inch but it seems theres no reason to go to the trouble of changing tracks. My seats are marked underneath as dec1986 so assume its series 1. I then used some manifold washers as a extra support to the hex bolt but its not required. I will try and get some pics up soon. Just have to get the rear seats altered. Anyone got some pics of the rears in.??
That's illegal. And not safe.
hey, i've done a search and found this thread..but i was wondering if anyone's made a thread about fitting vt,vx etc seats into a vr or earlier models??
i just bought vx calais leather seats and wouldn't mind sum info about fitting them to a vr. cheers, josh.

alsodoes any1 know were i can get a s2 passanger side inner rail spacer??? i really need 1
also looking for a price on getting someone to modify the back seat to fit
was going to put vn calais seats in my vl, i like the rear and front seats.
Do vn seats come with the adjustable hight of the seat? or do you use the ones off your vl seats? also any moding for the rear seats?
I put front an rear vn calais seats in my vl awhile back, fronts just follow this thread all works sweet, rear was a headache took ages to get right but once done looks mint.
If ya need any advice on the rears just PM me
Troy.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Sorry to thread dig But does it matter if you don't swap the passenger rails or spacer over? Cuase i just put the passenger one in and it looks ok? But the drivers one needs the rails swapped as stated. And how do you know if you have s1 or s2 rails?
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
S1 rails will not come off the seats. If you can remove your rails they are S2. Passenger seat will sit too high on the inside (sloped towards the door) if you don't change the rail over.
Ahhk cheers, does it matter if what rail i use for the drivers seat on the left side, reason im asking my left drivers one on the vl seat is farked and craked. Sorry im a bit of a noob
That makes sense, however i have the s1 rail and its all one friggen piece so vl one is in for time being and go to a wrecker for the s2 rail. cheers for all your help man
All you need is a S2 passenger seat from a VL, you use the right hand rail on the passenger seat, and the left hand rail on the driver's seat. That should make it easier than finding a pair of S2 seats.

do you know if this the case when putting vy/vz ss seats in a vn/g too?
its a maybe on my to do list:P

Seats VT onwards have different brackets and the rails cant be swapped for VL-VS type, totally different seat bases so the seat base has to be pulled right apart, it can be done with great difficulty, do a thread Search.
I recommend buying VR/VS seats and getting a trimmer to put VL or your favorite trim in the centre.
did this today cause the back of my vl seat broke bad and **** it is easy i was expecting it to be hell but i was suprised thanks to this 6yr old thread haha
