Hi all

I find my seats in my wee Bessie, quite comfy, and indeed on the 120 mile trip back home on the day that I bought her, I found that the bouncing and fixed seating position actually CURED the sciatica I had at the time.

However, I'm now wondering if, from a safety point of view, if I should replace them with seats that have head restraints.

Any recommendations, on ones that would "slot in" to the existing space/runners (there aren't runners are there? God I'm thick ), anyway. You get my drift.

Cheers

i think rangie classic ones fit, and some companys do mounting kits for bucket seats

Exmoor trim do direct replacements which are high backed with head restraints. Using a couple myself. They're really comfy and use the same mounting points. They're literally 2 holes.

Trakkers Extreme Seat
These just here. They are £80 but they came with mine so im happy.
They're pretty good I think unless you want to make your own mounting points for some others you find, but try evilBay first.

The key feature when looking for replacement seats for a Series (I suspect the same applies to coilers) is the depth of the cushion, especially if you are a bit tall. I'm only 6' but many of the Series I have sat in with alternative seats leave me stooping to see out of the windscreen. Depth of the cushion includes the depth of runners etc.
From memory the best I have driven (I didn't buy it for other reasons) had Ranault 20 seats fitted.

Hi

I'm looking into all those options, many thanks, but I'm confoooz'd as I don't know of a Renault 29. My dad's had 8 of them over the years, and I can't recall that one.

Cheers
