Cheers for the pics, looks great. I thought mine was pretty snazzy with reclining backs, but cup-holders an armrests, thats a whole other level of comfort

Mate, brilliant I havn't seen them before, I think you will start a new trend

Hit a little snag, the hiace seats i have bought have a seat belt built into one side-complete, but the other seat only had the clicky bit of the belt. The belt sash itself is mounted to the van and wasn't included in the sale. And i've been told buy a wreckers that there is a $10 000 fine for anyone selling 2nd hand seatbelts. Bugger. So i'm on the lookout for 2 seat belts for current model hi-ace.

Dropped into Rare spares yesterday and bought/ordered as many rubbers and seals as they make
Windscreen rubber, 2xfront door seals, front window inner and outer seal (but not felts), cargo door seal, rear barn door seal kit (But not window rubbers) = $550
They said they can make up barn door window rubbers, but i'd need to take in a sample from my van for them to copy

Also still trying to decide on mirrors, i definatley want chrome, and i saw these listed as Kombi mirrors
at 5 3/8 x 6 3/4 or 136x171mm they are nice and big and will offer good visability, but how the hell does the mounting point work?

Hey arron, mate i am using the bucket seats from my donor VP for the passengers, i also took the seat belts out, the belts i am using to mock up everything, then i am going to buy new ones for the final fit. If you care anything about your safety and that of your passengers you will do the same thing, in the scheme of things its a small price to pay. I should know, if i was not wearing my belt when my courier van was hit head on, i would i shot straight through the windscreen. Only fools skimp on safety, its not a case of if it will happen, but a case of when.

Hey i agree, thats why i'm trying to find the right belts to fit, i don't want damaged belts, but when you consider the driver and front passenger seatbelts are over 30 years old, 2nd hand belts will still make these the safest seats in the van. If i'm going to pay $200+ for 2 new belts, i might as well sell the seats i just bought and start hunting again for something with all the seatbelts included

If memory serves me right the Kombi had a recessed threaded "nut" built into the door that the mirror screws into.

If memory serves me right the Kombi had a recessed threaded "nut" built into the door that the mirror screws into.

So if i can get a nut (i think 15mm thread), drill a 15mm hole in the door, and nut it up from the inside, i should be in business yeah?
