Any ideas?

Cheers

Pete (Redoctober) on here used to have a SIIA SWB with a small rear seat (large enough for his 2 sons). I can't remember what the seat was from, but the conversion was fully engineered in QLD.

Hi

I have done this and had an engineered seat put into the back of my Series III SWB. This allowed me to carry to kids in the back. However the seat was not removable and effectively removed most of the carrying capacity of the vehicle. Ultimately I bought a LWB vehicle to solve the problem as the alternative solution (selling the kids) was ruled out by SWMBO.

couldn't a fold forward set of seats like the ones in the back of a jeep wrangler etc be used to fit in? I know fernuckolated used to have a similar setup in the back of his 2a LWB.

the fold forward ones like fernuckolated had, sound perfect. i pick up the series III on sat will post some pics of her then.

I'd forgotten about them, but they are expensive!

sure are! lol hopefully i can find something in aus which is down a few notches in price. but we'll see. if i have to i have to. she's not called SWMBO for nothing :-S

Like 1984V8110 I have installed a seat in the back of my Game. The seat came out of a Patrol (third row dicky seat) I paid $200 for the seat and seat belts, and it cost about $500 for the engineer to look at it. There is enough room for adults to sit reasonably comfortable, but you can't see much out of the windows. It is ideal for kids though.

Cheers, Mick.
