How did I get by without them ?

[Drover]

I am only 6ft tall and have often thought about Mulgo's seat rail extension but never bothered, it was comfortable enough...

Well, I was down at the expedition centre yesterday (to check out “Chook73” portals) and grabbed a set.

Now I can’t believe how much difference they make, to move the seat back an extra inch feels like a mile.

If you are 6ft or there about’s get them, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks once again Daniel (Mulgo):D

[rijidij]

Yep, for such a simple modification, it makes a big difference. You wouldn't think that a little bit of lift and a little move backwards would do much, but it's worth it.

Cheers, Murray

[ezyrama]

Where do you get them please, I'm 5'11' and my right leg always rests against the door handle which can get a bit sore after a while and a bit more lift may compensate.

cheers Ian

[Drover]

Give Daniel a ring at Mulgo, Expedition centre.

He will, no doubt work it out for you.

OK then. I have noticed sitting in "The Count" that it is a bit on the squishee side (me at 6'4"). So you blokes raving on about these have made me go and buy some from the Mulgo site.

Any idea's on how long their stuff normally takes to get to Melbourne?

[dullbird]

are they compatible with a P38?

[goingbush]

Anybody heard from Daniel lately I'm waiting for some sales enquiries responses for about a week now, in the past I've had immediate answers

[chook73]

Sounds like something else i am going to have to fit whilst it's in his workshop, i have been thinking about them for ages but it sounds like I need them.

Drover it was great to meet you and Peta, I am very curius how many times/ways did you try bringing up fitting portals to the svx with swmbo on the drive home?

I can tell you Daniel has been incredibly busy in the last week, he now has an employee and seems to be slowly catching up with the backlog.

Iain

i have thought about it

but as i dont have air-con and tend to wind down the drivers window as soon as i hop in the defender it seems natural to put by elbow out the window...........

i assume the B Piller will get in the way if i'm sitting further back.

Thats what I used to think, and then I realised that I don't have to take it all the way back if I don't want to but at least I have the option......

[Drover]

I only use about an exta inch or so.

In leg room it seems like miles, as for the b pilar or resting the elbow on the window sill it makes very little difference.

Iain, was great to catch up and yes portals we're on the agenda for the drive home, funnily enough one of us thought they were a better idea Than the other.:angel:

[Moon.dog62]

Is there any advantage in putting these seat extensions in a single cab tray back, because it seems the seats don't really have any further back to go but any advantage would be great.
Thanks, Moondog

Going forward you will most probably only need one phone number for getting and fitting these portals.

Hi Moondog,

The seat extensions will not help you as the back of the seats hit the back of the cab without seat extensions already.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
As chook73 mentioned. Desperately trying to catch up with backlog.

Cheers,

[goingbush]

no probs, have ordered exbox anyway, no hurry.

I lifted my seats 30mm. That helps me even though my Defender has a cab .

I removed my plastic door handle and now have one of these:MUDSTUFF.CO.UK, Defender Flexible Grab Handle (http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/Defender%20Flexible%20Grab%20Handle.shtml)


As for the seat rails, I made my own, all up $30-$40 for two sets.

Seat rails can be bought from Mulgo, Britpart, Mudstuff.co.uk or you can make your own.

With the seat rails and the soft flexiable door handle it makes all the difference.:D

I recently fitted some seat spacers to a customer's Puma 90 which had a cargo barrier behind the front seats. The seat back was already touching the cargo barrier, so it was no point fitting extended rails, but raising the seat actually makes a good difference if you're tall.
The hole through the rear spacers is offset so they don't bind on the vertical part of the body. You also need longer bolts to suit.
This would work the same in a single cab.

Cheers, Murray

As Murray's very satisfied 6.3 customer I can only say that the spacers make a massive difference!

Murray also did a brilliant job fitting a compressor with reservoir behind the driver's seat and two long range tanks from Mulgo taking the Puma's fuel capacity from 60 litres to 147 litres! The tanks were fitted with a custom Mulgo filler so that the standard filler can be used and no nasty holes had to be made in the panels.

Brilliant work!

Please, please, please tell us more, with photo's preferably, and in a new thread if necessary to avoid a hijack of this thread:).

[Moon.dog62]

Thank you all for your help much appreciated. I will look into making some spacers

[rijidij]

Please, please, please tell us more, with photo's preferably, and in a new thread if necessary to avoid a hijack of this thread:).

The Mulgo filler is a modified filler neck which has an extra tube plastic welded to it. You can fill your main tank or your auxiliary tank/tanks all through the original fuel cap. You can choose which tanks to fill simply by directing the fuel pump nozzle into the appropriate tube.
I don't know whether Daniel sells these as a separate item, or only with a dual tank system.

Cheers, Murray

This one's on a Puma 90.

Well bugger me that was quick. I had just started thinking about getting "The Count" cleaned out ready for the ext'd rails, and there was the courier at the door this morming! Great service Mulgo!


OK then. I have noticed sitting in "The Count" that it is a bit on the squishee side (me at 6'4"). So you blokes raving on about these have made me go and buy some from the Mulgo site.

Daniel,how does the fuel filler line go through the wheel arch on a 110 wagon?. Pat

Hi Pat,

Same as with the 90. The fuel filler line runs over the top of the spring mount.

Cheers,

Daniel,I'll send you a PM. Pat

Whilst I did not need to fit the mulgo seat rail extensions with the new seats I have ended up in the same position as you would with them and I agree that its soooooo much better. I was worried I would loose my elbow rest but in reality its more comfortable especially for those times you need to drive with the window up.

And no my car is not on the road (or even on wheels), I sat there last night with it on the stands to try out the new position.......

[Xtreme]

i have thought about it

but as i dont have air-con and tend to wind down the drivers window as soon as i hop in the defender it seems natural to put by elbow out the window...........

i assume the B Piller will get in the way if i'm sitting further back.

No need to slide the seat further back, just the lift that these extension rails give will result in a more comfortable and commanding driving position.

Highly recommended, and you don't have to be over 6' for them to be worthwhile. :D
