Seat question, sorry!

Post by callum » Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:20 pm

Hi folks.
Looking at possibly buying another bongo and my budget means an old one, which is fine.
Now, i would do a homebuilt conversion and the ones i have seen have the gull seats.
I would be interested to remove these and fit rails in the rear. Can the short rails fit in the rear? I had a gander and couldn't find a thread about it. Some people have said that it "best" to fit the long rails. I'd rather not, i won't need the versatility, so really want to know if the shorts will fit.
Any thoughts appreciated.

The short rails are standard with gull seats. :)

Hey, cheers for the response.
I am aware that the short rails are there on the gull seats, but i wondered if they could fit at the rear of the van, where the gull seats are. Saves buying long rails as i won't be able to push the seats all the way forward anyway as a conversion will be in the way.

My best thought is when you start the job offer up the short rails and see if they fit.

If not try the converters for a long set, some just skip them.

Hope that helps. 8)
