Rear forward facing seats in a 90
I already have a right hand fitted, the basic fold up version.
I am considering converting the rear arches to accommodate the Puma style
Or investing in a fold and lock from Exmoor trim.
Any thoughts on best way to proceed?

The Exmoor Trim seats will bolt straight in but are pretty expensive and also very close together, reportedly making access tricky.

Puma seats are less expensive (second hand) and are arguably the better solution in use, but are much more complicated to fit and often require the sourcing of many separate smaller parts, depending on how diligent the donor was. I would imagine that doing it with all new parts would be prohibitively expensive.

Those are the pro's and con's but only you can decide which option will better suit your circumstances. Darren

The big downside of the Puma seats is the amount of space taken up when they're folded away. They're also a pain to remove and replace (who put the nut in the wheel arch?).
If only it were possible to have some seats similar the those in the Discovery.
