Lowered seat frames fitted and doggie seat belt fastener

[uzsnowdrop]

Well pleased, fitted two lowered seat frames to the van, replaced the box panels and fitted a seatbelt buckle for dog in harness behind seats , ( been worrying over this for a few weeks since picking the new van, dog through windscreen is a bad thing)
Very pleased with the lowered frames supplied by Midlands Leisure ( sportscraft I think) what quality bits of kit, and the spare additional handbrake fixing was perfect to fit a seat belt buckle for the hound.

Hi,

mid that because you are tall ?

Yep, This is my third Sevel chassis van and never found the seat position catered for tall folk. ( I’m only 6 ft 4 so not a giant)
The first two had fitted blinds , so I thought it may have been that, but this latest van doesn’t and it still had the same issue. The lowered seat bases are amazing, a few cm drop makes all the difference, knees fit under, full windscreen vision, the key no longer sticks in my leg, (theres a thread on here somewhere about that) and no parachute drop to get out of the van. Other half is a shorty so shes happy too , she finds it easier to get in and out and her feet touch the floor. Not cheap but quality piece of kit, got mine from midland leisure.
Honestly transformed the driving experience.

Hi Andy , yep its the ‘sevel’ chassis which is the Fiat Ducato , Peugeot Boxer and one other(citroen?)
Yep , original seat boxes out new one in , its simple , I’m not handy and I managed it.
passenger seat has swivel, its a separate plate thats fitted on top the base, then you fit the seat , you need a hex and torx spanner. (Kit from screwfix 20 quid)
Theres a you tube video by a guy called Jennings shows how easy it is . If you do it , get a friend to help you lift the chair they are heavy, Jennings makes it look easy...I’ll look for the youtube link
