I have scheelman,s and arb bar. The seats do the job on the long haul! Recently went through a mob of goats, middle of the night 150k,s from anywhere. A goats head went in between the bar and top rail some panel damage was sustained to the side of the vehicle, however the main thing was I was able to keep going. For me that is deemed fit for purpose.:D
I'd love an auto, but I don't think that cheap or easy for the Puma 2.2 what auto would mate up? I spoke with Davis Performance Landies some time ago and he said you lose a lot of power when converting to auto?????Quote:

A TDV6 and it's auto would be the go. Wonder what that engine and gearbox would set you back.

redrovertdi - you got any photos how you attached passenger and driver these seats? i picked up a pair of these exact seats few weeks back for my defender just need to find time to fit. sat them in place couple of weeks ago and looks like will require only small modification to fit. would like to get the hinge on passenger seat too. i've got aftermarket seats in already.
Babs - wouldn't get too excited about the BMW seats, i've got an auto defender too and for them to be suitable you'll need a small steering wheel and i doubt the seating position would be at all suitable for a manual. they sit higher than standard defender seats, and to depress the clutch to the floor i reckon you'd have to be sitting quite close to the steering wheel. again - mine is an auto, but i reckon you'd need to consider that before you go spend any money. yes the autos are great too.
