Defender seats

[blue juice]

Hello to all members.
Is there a rail kit for the defender seats that would make more legs room for people over 6 ft.
If not could the exsisting rail be lengthened by buying an extra set and welding 3 to 4 inches on !
Thank you

Yes,
This mob in th UK make them :
MUDSTUFF.CO.UK - About us - Have you got MUD? - Land Rover Solutions (http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/aboutus.html)
I have bought a console from them and they are good to deal with. Freight out of the UK is expensive though.
With mine I just made up rails out of 40mm square tubing. This raised the seats up 40mm without impinging on the leg space for rear passengers. It is also a good idea to put a nylon spacer block where the bolts go through into the tube. Adds a bit of support where the hole weakens the tube structure. 40mm painted tube is about $40 a length (6m). You can buy standard plastic caps to seal the ends and paint as required.
This does not alter the rail at all, just lifts the seat base. I think the rail kits fro Mud Stuff also allow the seat to go back further.

All you need is a couple of lengths on box section to use as a spacer under the rails. Drill a couple of holes, fit a couple of longer bolts and "Hey Presto!". :D

The main advantage is the extra height lets the rail clear the lip at the top of the bulkhead and therefore get more legroom.

my seats are raised 22mm and it works well for me (6'2" and mostly legs)

You should be able to cut 1 or 2 more notches into the sliders for a bit more backwards travel, as well as raising them to clear the step at the back.
