Many thanks for that Trax, most helpful.

Cheers for your help all of you, I could do with a bit more information from you though, as you can see from the pictures I'm missing quite a lot of bits, plus I am unsure of how the seat frames bolt to the floor pan, seeing as its not easy to put a bolt through and hold a nut at the same time...

Here is a pic of my 1983 90, the guy I bought it from said it was the first year of the 90, it has spent some years abroad although I don't know where, what do you think, its a bit battered but has a lot of character, its also my first land rover so I have a lot to learn, hopefully I can call...

Thanks Trax, do you know where I would be able to buy that part, I've been looking around Defender websites but so far I haven't found any.

I don't want to drive the defender till the seats are sorted, and although the seat belt does do all the work, the bit the belt clips into is part of the seat, not part of the car as yours is, I'll look like a fighter pilot that's ejected if I crash, not cool.

Hi guys and girls, I bought my first Defender last month, its a 1983 90 pick up style, the seats have been changed to Discovery ones by a previous owner and the position is wrong, they look like **** and the battery had been moved to the back I suspect due to the seat covering the battery...
