Thread: Defender seats

Yes,
This mob in th UK make them :
MUDSTUFF.CO.UK - About us - Have you got MUD? - Land Rover Solutions
I have bought a console from them and they are good to deal with. Freight out of the UK is expensive though.
With mine I just made up rails out of 40mm square tubing. This raised the seats up 40mm without impinging on the leg space for rear passengers. It is also a good idea to put a nylon spacer block where the bolts go through into the tube. Adds a bit of support where the hole weakens the tube structure. 40mm painted tube is about $40 a length (6m). You can buy standard plastic caps to seal the ends and paint as required.
This does not alter the rail at all, just lifts the seat base. I think the rail kits fro Mud Stuff also allow the seat to go back further.

All you need is a couple of lengths on box section to use as a spacer under the rails. Drill a couple of holes, fit a couple of longer bolts and "Hey Presto!".

The main advantage is the extra height lets the rail clear the lip at the top of the bulkhead and therefore get more legroom.
