Bench Seat, Saf front?

Post by MihiT »

Just wondering if anyone has done this? Or if it was ever a stock option, I don't think it was...

does anyone know which safs came out with an umbrella handbrake (I see the knockout is there beside the steering column)?
but asides from that I can't see much that would need moving.

TIA.

Do please.

I'll have to check out the mounting and whatnot but definitely keen to see if it will fit.

What are they worth to you?
Obviously you've seen them mounted, how does that work out with the tunnel, it's quite high in the gq, but i dont know about the mk/q, presumably there's another seat rail needed on the drivers side of the seat?

The l.c. seat were reappolistered and retrofitted into a mid wheel ex bh74. They owe me $400.

Best to head across and have a looksee and make ya decission from there

It would be the nissen one... My other option is to get handy with the ply and foam, which I'm slowly convincing myself isn't a bad idea.

Where is "across"?

That is where it is...presumably that was cable actuated?
Either way it wouldn't take much to convert to an umbrella handbrake.
