Can anyone help me out with some pictures of their 7 seater?

Have the 2nd hand, 3rd row seats in possession, bolting the seats looks pretty straight forward, just some drilling required, and it appears the holes will line up with current template that sits under wheel arch.

The seat belt attachment however look a little fiddley. Actually will need to remove the plastic trim (nightmare for me) and cut into it to have the seat belt come through. Might differ to Mackay Land rover Spares so I don't make a complete meal out of it- but would appreciate any photos from under wheel arch and inside to check out fitment. Will swing by LR but haven't seen a 7 seater there yet- so not holding my breath.

Alternatively, if any 7 seater owner up this way I'd be happy to buy you a a few beers if I could swing by and check it all out. Just realising as I write this that a 90 would also be identical and all PUMA 90's have the same rear seat set up as a 7 seater- so maybe they have a 90 in town.

Helpful advice, as always, is very welcome.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim, whilst I am unable to post photos as I am in Cairns and the car is in Lismore NSW the trim panels in our factory 7 seater have a special moulded slot for the upper seatbelt to fit through and it may be difficult to cut a slot in your of trim at an angle to enable the seat belt to retract easily. Also the matter of fitting the retractable spool mounting would need to be addressed. As a matter of interest and as I intend to remove the 3rd row of seats is there a market for these seats and are they worth advertising for sale.
Jim.

Jim,

I've used a normal dinner fork (an older one I hope SWMBO won't miss!) and a pair of small sharp nose pliers.

There is apparently a special tool for those (some sort of fork arrangement...), but I've managed to not break a single one since starting to remove and refit panels on the Puma.

Cheers,

Lou

Thanks Lou. I Did read that in another thread last night.

Got any tips for cutting accurately into the plastic so seat belts can feed through?

Get yourself a trim tool set from local motor factors. Bit like a dinner fork but have various angles. Sometimes clips break though I break them all the time at work and its just one of those things.

As for cutting plastic when I have to cut bumpers or plastic side skirts to fit accessories to new vehicles at PDI I use an air disc cutter with a wafer thin disc to cut then slice it afterwards with a knife. The disc cutter cuts it well but due to the speed it also melts the bits back together a bit so the knife cuts the melted bit to neaten it all up. Depending how neat I need it to be I then use a file sometimes or some sand paper. Best to put some tape over where your going to cut then mark with a paint pen too ;)

Jimb,

I've got a 2013 Puma 90 if you want to come have a look at the back seat/seatbelt arrangement. Send me a PM.

I've got a similar dilema and I'm in Perth. I have seats, but need to dimension the cut-out in the rear arches and the measuremens for bolt holes etc on a Puma, so I can fit the seats properly. I'll have to fabricate panels to suit.
