THE KOMBI KONNECTION

roadrunner · Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 9:34 am Post subject: Seating Comfort

Hi All,

Another newby question for you.

I realise that some of you enthusiasts may think the Kombi Bucket Seat is fantastic. Unfortunately my wife does not think it comfortable & as most of you married blokes also know, happy wife = happy life(generally) Smile

So, apart from putting a leather recliner in, can any of you recommend some good options ? (Not divorce)
Is there a good seat that bolts "straight in" without to much hassle?

Cheers.

I've been asking the same question, and been told by one person who has done it that the seats out of the caravelle (T25) fit in straight on to the same rails. Other seats tend to be too tall. This is at least in relation to my 1979 Bay. I am going to start looking for these seats with arm rests.

Thanks for the response, I have read that Honda Legend 88-89 model seats fit in quite well & are comfortable.

But then again getting the current seats redone may be an option also.

Cheers.

I have 1986 Vanagon T-25 in UK seats in Roadcow. It's a 1971 bus and I had to hammer down the inside seat rails and then make my own groves in the outside for the stop mechanism. I just welded in Vanagon rails for the passenger seat. Nice confy seats but if you have a deluxe with the arm rest/vent to the back you have to remove the outside armrest from the seat.

I came across this photo on ebay. This is exactly something I am after. If anyone is going to ditch their front seats could you please PM me about buying the headrests from you. I will eventually want 6 of them. Any colour, any condition - I will have them reupholstered.
