The holes for fitting the seats were factory drilled on all 80" Land Rovers after chassis number 8666225 (mid 1949 model)

Thanks - I assume they are the holes in the inner vertical face of the capping - the ones at the front and rear are elongated.

Cheers Garry

The pre-drilled holes are the ones in the Birmabright top of the seat box. If you have holes in the inner face of the gal capping then your vehicle most probably did have rear seats at some time.

The holes on the vertical sides of the tub above the wheel arch on the 80" are for the spring clips that held the jack handle.

Hi team

Wonder if anybody can help point me in the right direction. I want to add rear bench seats to my 86". I was going to buy them from Exmoor Trim via Landy Bits but they are quite expensive. Also I was unsure how to fit them, will I need to drill holes and add spacer plates simply through the tub?

Any info or pics would be most welcome - thank you!!!

Made a Spacer on my 80 inch.

Thanks

Garry,
I may be able to help you. I recently obtained a few sets of 2 seater seats from early Series II ex Australian Army 88 and 109s. They are similar to Series IIA and III items but they have a flat base instead of a dipped centre section. They are the same as those fitted in my 80" and look identicle to the seats pictured in my 80" parts book. They fit the 80" seat cushions sold by Exmoor trim. You would have to clean off the khaki paint! They have a folding galvanized frames and a riveted aluminium sheet base. You will have to replace the cushions and trim as they are 60+ years old and are RS. They are genuine Land Rover and will fit your 88". They are the seats pictures in the previous reply.
