    Seat refurb/replacement

    Hi all, in planning on replacing or re upholstering the seats in my 130 single cab, I've seen the exmoor trim kits, they look impressive, but has anyone here got them? Are they More comfortable than the stock vinyl ones?
    Or should I look for something else instead,
    I realize I'm limited for space, maybe I'll extend the cab.....
    Anyway,I would appreciate some thoughts.

    Cheers James

    I bought new foams (not expen$ive) from Karcraft and had a local upholsterer fit them with new vinyl covers fashioned similar to the originals - very pleased with the results.

    I think BMI at Windsor are agents for ExmoorTrim - it would be interesting to know how their delivered prices compare to getting them direct.

    I’ve done two sets of front seats on a Perentie with Defender seats and a County
    Both kits were Britpart ( one from Paddocks and one from an Oz supplier) and are easy to install if you have strong hands and very comfortable
    The installation instructions and video are good as well
    The added advantage of doing them yourself is that you get the chance to sand/repair and paint the frames

    Defender seat covers

    Google and Ebay "Defender seats"
    Several places stock the Britpart kits.

    Hi

    I have used the Exmoore kits (Foam and covers) for the 2 front seats of my 130, I think I got them sent from Cradocks, this was about 5 years ago and it was the cheapest option at the time.

    Really pleased how they came out, was not hard to do, I fitted the heated seat pads at the same time.

    Am about to convert to 2 single seats in the rear and do the same again in the near future.

    Cheers
