2009 Defender HCPU Seats

I suppose I'll have to start pounding the pavement with a tape in hand, thanks for the tips and keep them coming if anyone hears of someone coming across some better seat options.

Thanks again

I raised my seat by putting a 1" box section between the seat frame and the adjuster rails and used longer alen keys high tensile counter sunk machine screws, that's on my county so I don't know if they work the same You could always use a sun roof and poke your head out, that's what the tall bloke on 'Top Gear' does when he gets in a stubby car.
I mate of mine is well over 6'7" and he has to remove his shoes when driving because his feet are to big that he would hit two pedels if not careful

Maybe this in conjuction with the Mud rails would help?

Removing the bulkhead is not an option. Has anyone ever put in an OBX Monaco seat. The dimensions I can get hold of lokk very promising but I am still chasing the finer details.

... did you find any solutions to enlarge the legroom in your singlecab Defender?

Replacing our 16 years old 130 for a brand new 110 hcpu I will face the same problem.

This is a very good solution, maybe they do a knock down kit.....

I'm 6'2" and hear you brother! I also have a single cab and have explored all the options. The 'Mudrails' are no good except for the twin cab. You would also find you would be hitting the roof if you raised the seat track. You would also find that the headrest is of no use to you with your height. Neither is mine. The only thing I haven't done yet is remove the seat and take off the head rest. I estimate that will gain an inch or two that the seat can be laid back. I'm not sure if removal of the headrest is a roadworthy issue so don't discard them as you might need to re-install them when you sell the vehicle, but a headrest that you can't rest your head on speaks for itself. Useless. There are cabin extension kits I have seen that extend the cab by 10 inches but I don't know where they are available. My son was in Holland last year and he told me they are very popular over there. If Land Rover would get off their arse and redesign the cabin they have been serving up for the last 50 years we would not have this problem. If they widened it out to the width of the wheel arch flares for a start it could be 6 inches wider without altering any of the running gear.

I wonder if you could fit a racing type bucket seat, these are usually very light and thin but may compromise adr's and insurance etc
I assume you realised before you purchased it that you would have this problem.....love is blind they say. I mean you could have bought a #$%^&*@ with more comfortable seating.......(wash your mouth out Dennis)
