Thanks everyone for the infoI guess I should try and track down some Defender seats first and fit those, and if I feel I still need more room I could then look at cutting the transom and fitting a bar.

as long as you dont drill weld or cut to make your seats fit and the rails of the seats are correctly supported you dont need an engineers certificate...
bring a grinder drill or saw into the picture and if they want to get picky tey can go you a row.

i chaneled the seat rails down at the front so they now sit flat (straight).& gives more room to move the back of the seat back...

Sorry Dave, not true. Laws vary state to state.Originally Posted by Blknight.aus
In QLD, you have to get a mod plate for ANY alterations to the seating, regardless of if you weld/grind anything or not. Even if you (permanently) remove seats you need a mod plate for reduced seating capacity.
In fact, any welding or grinding to SEATS in QLD means that no approval is possible.
I fitted seats from a 1979 Mitsubishi Lancer to my IIA, and had them approved in QLD. They required a minimum of 75x75x3 mm steel plates on the underside of the seat box under each mounting point, and class 8.8 bolts.
Btw - I am 6'3" and I didn't remove the rear bulkhead/transom to fit my seats (109). Not heaps of legroom, but enough.

Does anyone know where I might find some info on modding regulations in Perth?

I think your best bet would be to call the DPI and ask. They seem to require written (prior) approval for most mods. And they will be the ones examining it anyway.
