Did you have to cut the raised section for the suspension?

Do you happen to have a pic, I like to do that.
Seats in the Disco is crap, I and others I carry always slide off the leather and the seat is too short too.

Big Guy, these are the ones where the suspension section is behind the seat back, so they can be mounted without behing higher than norm. I'll get some pics soon if you'd like? They were easy to fit, D1 maybe a bit of a challenge if prior to 1995, as the seat bases are different to later D1. Nothing is impossible though

Also, I got lucky the seat fabric colour is almost identical to the bone colour of the original leather.

OLD?? I'm only 43, and about 80Kg. I have some serious spinal injuries and the 60% shock absorbtion of these suspension seats is a godsend. I can now spend more than 3 hours in the vehicle without having to lie down and/ or swallow some powerful pills.

Adjustment is the key, they can be annoying if they are set too soft for sure.
