The Rhino install looks neat - wonder if you can get them in olive drab to match the interior?!?

I've been pondering replacing the seats in my 712, but modern buckets don't really go with the look of the vehicle (I'm trying to keep it looking as standard as possible, within reason).... so red and black buckets don't really do it.

Any other ideas?

I used 1997 ? geo tracker fronts, cut brackets to lower, screw front down on driver seat if you dont like highbacks the rear seats would work

I used a set of seats from a Land Rover Defender you can pull the base units off and they recline as well.
I mounted them on a new angle iron frame work so they fit in the original Pinz fittings. Took me a day to sort the fitting out.

A couple of people here in the UK use the Mercedes sprinter vans seats they also seem to work well.
