you would need them to get engineered anyone have an idea how much that would cost, and can you still get the bench style seats in the rear engineered?
Good question you have asked Craig as I am sure many have given it a bit of thought

$440 I was quoted for engineering for a 3rd row pair of fold up seats out of a late model 110 into my 96 110.

Thanks for that. I might have a look at a later Defender because i thought something was different there in the inner guard - started watching and thought great - no cutting - made it look very easy. But while it may get them by for a trip I think it needs some more work.

But for the discussion here I think for engineering it is going to need a bit more than a couple of washers through aluminium i would think. The chassis cross member is right under the front mounts and the original has brackets attached to that. I would think fabricating some new brackets would be the go. The other problem i had is that they mounted it straight through the carpet etc - would have thought it better metal to metal - but then im not an engineer!

Also the seats i have i think must be out of a dual cab ute set up - my rear mounts are different to what they have shown. But i imagine that will work out ok but they wont fold down and retract like those ones. Also doesn't have those springs they refer to and some other brackets because i think they may have fixed them in the utes.

Yes it does sound like you have 130 rear seats. They should also have mounting plates on he rear tops where they bolt to he rear of the cab wall.

If it becomes to much of a task, and you want to move them on please PM me. I'm looking at fitting a second bucket in mine.
