Thread: Replacement Defender Seats.

Here's a relatively inexpensive solution - providing you're not over 6 feet tall.

Place a piece of good quality 50mm foam on top of your existing Defender seat and fit a good quality sheepskin cover over the lot. I did this on mine and my wife and I drove right around Australia in comfort.

Before anyone suggests Recaro, I have had these in the past (in a Ford in the UK) and they great, wouldn't hesitate in fitting them, but unfortunately cannot afford to shell out a couple of grand for one.

So am looking at either a kit from Exmoors or something out of another Brand vehicle.

So just want to know if anyone else has done this or have any recommendations.

I realise I may lose the quick access to the ECU etc, but can live with 4 bolts etc, as most seats do not have detachable bases.

Regards.

Dog hair from the wife's mini mutt, ice cream stains, baby vomit, house paint from that time the lid came off on a corner, remains of a Big Mac lost down the back of the seat, zebra stripes from when you had to stand on the brakes to avoid a semi etc.
