Bankzs 110 CSW XS Build

Zero at the minute the laser is down

Started on my rear seat conversion. Kept my original XS front seats for this very reason, just took a year to find a pair of runners for decent money - £30 for a pair

Using the original seat mounting points.











They fit. They are MUCH more comfortable and actually have some support. Also retained the original "seating height"

Secured down to the floor using LR front seat rivnuts across the bottom + two on the aches with some spreader plates. Plenty strong enough

Got to laser cut and bend some panels to finish it off. Fit the door so I can use the underside for storage. Left space for the derv heater as well.

Then paint

Also got a front middle seat which I'm going to try and fit but it's very tight so needs some more thought, if not it'll have to be a cubby box.

Fit the fridge there…

I did think that, that is an option, though I would like 3 seats if possible bit more versatile!

so much better!! Just need a gun rack behind those two front seats and she’s ready for invasion

Ohhhh I could! I mean it's not Texas but I do have a couple shotguns

Welded the storage door in place today with some little bullet hinges. Held in place by 3 magnets, mostly to reduce rattle, will also have the same style latch as the cubby boxes.





Also made the side cover plates



With holes to allow a diesel heater to be fitted. Will be pop riveted in place for an OEM look.

All painted, zinc primer then matt black.

Will install on Weds

Middle seat definitely doesnt fit which is annoying, bit of oversight on my part but if I spread the main seats out further they wouldnt be as comfortable.

So either got to cut it down, re weld it, add a recliner mechanism then have some custom uplostery. That sounds like a lot of effort for a seat that might get used once a year...

Ill keep the seat and keep the idea in mind, never know may need one.

So im thinking back to cubby box/fridge. However the annoying part of a cubby box is loosing that fold flat ability which does come in handy.

On the plus side if the fridge goes there for trips I dont need to draw the slide out/drop down fridge slide.

Thought…
Shrink the middle seat . Instead of reclining to get flat,could you tilt the whole seat forward into the footwell area?

If you do shrink the seat who would be able to fit on it?

Oh thats a good idea!

Erm no one really more of an emergency short trip jump seat and always found it handy to have a flat space across the seats.

Frames all painted, adjustments made. Beefed up two off the connections from M8 to M12 because it was easy to do.









Just waiting for the clasp for the storage door. Ordered a MUD Stuff cubby box, slightly larger than the OEM one so should fit nicely in there. May get the lid trimmed to match the XS Seats....
