FREE - 1995 Bongo rear folding "gull-wing" seats & belts

Post by slowpolo » Sun Jul 15, 2018 9:34 am

Hi there, just sold our bongo and following an attic clear out found we still have the folding rear seats that we removed to fit a van conversion!

Free to a good home, they are in great condition, removed from a 1995 bongo, so upholstery is early grey style.

Would need collected from Perth, Scotland - PH2.

Thanks

Hi mate, can these be fitted onto the standard rails on an 8 seater?

Nope. You'd have to have the relevant pivot/support brackets welded in (and, ideally, lock down loops to allow seats to be locked). It has been done (I think it was Allans in Plymouth who did it for someone, some years back) but its labour (of love!) intensive. Shame, as the gull wing set up is fantastic IMHO.

I've a feeling Allan did it for Jillygumbo.

They are indeed brilliant. 8)
