Semi bucket seats

Clayrr said:

Hi guys,

Anyone familiar with fitting sparco seats in a td5? Looking at options but they all seem to be a complete unit instead of having a removable seat base to access the ECU and battery compartment.

Has anyone got any semi bucket seats installed that still allow easy access?

I've been in a couple of Defenders with aftermarket bucket seats and I don't like them. The trouble is you climb up to get into the seat, then drop down into it which just doesn't work for me. The standard seats are absolutely fine when in a good condition, but decades of drivers getting in and out makes the base foam crumble to pieces and then they're uncomfortable. The best option IMO is to just refurbish the originals.
