Thread: Bucket seats in rear of Defender 130 cab?

I would have thought a fair few people might have done this over the years?
Evidently not.

I watched a video on YT where someone fitted some late model Defender seats to the back of a County era hardtop and it was absolutely terrifying how weak their brackets / anchors were. Very dangerous...

I am thinking about it, basically replace the 60+40 with two front seats along with cubby. I reckon you will have to fashion a mount/adopter that will bolt to the existing mount points. I am even day dreaming of a watertank(removing the existing floor and drop a custom tank) that the seats can bolt onto :P

I did it in my 110. Used rhs and mounted Defender buckets. Didn't get engineered or anything. It was far better mounted than the standard back seat.

I have a poly water tank which is custom built to fit in the underseat tool box in my 130. A few of us on AULRO got them years ago. I never got around to fitting mine before I sold my previous 130...or since I've had the current one... It's therefore as new.

I've decided to go a different way so its just sitting in my shed....

Do you still have the tank for sale? If so, how much will you sell it for.

I will be near Bracken Ridge on Saturday 2nd September so could have a look.

I have a 2011 130 dual cab.

Yeah mate I can do that, I'll flick you a PM rather than derail the thread.

I found this really neat job
