I suppose the ecu etc could be moved to under the cubby box, then that just leaves the battery to be accessed. A side door like you said seems a very good idea, why didn't land rover put them in Rolling with laughter

Land rover is your answer exactly that Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter the trick round it is to get a long threaded bolt secure it with nuts and then it will always stay there then fit the seat onto the threaded bolt cut down to required length and use a wing nut ( simples) Thumbs Up Thumbs Up CSK Automotive

Them seats really look good value, what's access to the battery and ecu like ?


Hi Chris, are they thinner than stock LR seats too? So the actual depth of the seat (where a harness would go) would be thinner, giving a little more shoulder and arm room.

The reason I ask is I have the build of a yeti and the ol' 90 is somewhat fitted, to say he least.

I've tried the Recaro SVX seats and they help with space for shoulder and arms as they are thinner than stock seats giving the impression of more cabin room, so I'm hoping these do the same as the cost is superb.

Also have any of your customers got pics of their seats fitted too? Be great to see more anges etc.

Nath

ill grab some more photos fitted in landys, comparing them to my puma seats i would say there is alot more room as the backs are shaped allowing you to go back a bit more. Thumbs Up


Thanks mate. That'd be great re. pics

Not sure why you'd need to go to the expense of moving the ECU, how often do you need to access it that you couldn't spend a little extra time undoing some wing nuts. Like wise, fit a remote battery socket type thing on the passenger side (mobile centre and Xeng do different versions) and we sell a battery cut off switch and that would mean access to the passenger side would be not very often either Thumbs Up

What you're saying makes a lot of sense but I tend to be in the ecu compartment every couple of months changing something in the wiring loom, adding bits or taking out bits that don't work. Just me I suppose.

The isolator switch for the battery makes sense.

Killer, if the frame work on these seats are strong and they are as comfortable as the look then you are definitely on to a winner, if I was you I'd stock up on these and stick an add in LRO, or similar, I reckon they'd sell like hot cakes.
