    Side facing Rear seats

    Greeting fellow LR people.
    I have a 2004 110 Defender. I have recently bought a set of 2 fold up, side facing rear seats which were on a salvage vehicle that has now been destroyed. They came out of a 04 Defender and were factory fitted.
    So these are the seats that fit in the cargo area onto the wheel arch boxes.
    I cant seem to figure out where to place the seat hinges. The seat belt support bar is now in place and I can work out where to fix the seat backs once the bottom seats are in but I am unsure on the exact positioning of the bottom seat hinge support brackets.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.
    Tim

    Tim,

    I have the centre facing rear seats in mine but unfortunately there is a storage system in the back at the moment, I'll see if I can find any photos before the storage system went in when I get home tonight.

    Not sure about WA but in VIC the seating capacity change has to be registered with VIC Roads and that required an engineers report. You may also have to notify your insurance company of the change.

    Tim,

    Mine are much older than yours so the mounting is likeley to be very different. The bottom of the seat on mine attaches to the seat back.

    Picture attached (seat bottom removed)

    Depends on the "Compliance Plate Seating Capacity"

    Thanks for the info. But mine are 2 separate fold down seats so your mounting points would not be the same.
