Thread: discovery seats into a 130 defender

Ray, I did this with my rangie when installing recaro's, I used a piece of 50 x 8 flat bar and countersunk bolts, bolted the bar to the seat base, then the seat rails to the bar, passed engineering..
You should use rangie seats though as you get the armrests

Do you already have the seats Ray ?

How do the Rangie seats go for width in the Defender? I do miss my armrests.

Some D2 seats have armrests as well and they're just as uncomfortable as the RR's

I'd suggest stick with non armrest D1 seats, mount them inboard a few mm to get outboard clearance, and make a new "cubby box" if you must and then make it the correct height for armrest position.

I'm assuming disco seats are higher than defender. measure clearance between your thigh and steering wheel now and then further subtract the extra height of the disco seats. Then work out whether you can still use the clutch without your thigh hitting the steering wheel.

Just a thought before you get too far into it.

Yep i got the front and rear seats at a good price


I'm thinking if i tilt the seats a little that should be fine clearance wise
