New bolt-in version of the seat box.

Hey Matt, I made you a video:




That shows what we did with the Subaru seats, (I believe they were from an 01 btw) Will you be able to get access to a welder to mod the seats?
Going to be pretty difficult otherwise....

Thanks Kev. I'm going to ask a local guy that I know if he will let me either weld in his shop or if he will bust out some brackets for me. He has some talent and I bake bread so there is a good chance we can come to a meeting of the minds.

The seat Box is in and looks amazing. Here's a video showing how much room there is. I was able to put 2x12" subs in there and there is still room!

 

[kevinmrowland]

Bravo!

I am so disappointed with you that you would waste valuable storage space on "subs".
Too funny, that's my kind of sub storage.

[NLXTACY]

I will take a box for a 1987

 

[kevinmrowland]

Thanks rapo!

You might have to fight Johnny for it depending on how anxious he is, but I've got the 86+ prototype parts here now, just need to get it welded together....

 

[rapovt]

I might have to use some long range weapons if I have to fight Johny for it so I will move to second in line.

You have my permission to move up to 1st in line. I'm a bit distracted with other projects on Moonshine right now.

???? I thought that we both wanted one and I let you go first,so I am I first now?

No sir, I was in line before you popped into this thread. I had expressed interest on 05-23-12 for the 86+ bodies.

However, I am neck deep in a 4BT swap, so I cannot afford Kevin's seat box for a couple more months. You are now first in line.

I edited my post above to fix the confusion I caused

 

[kevinmrowland]

Settle down boys, you'll all get your seat boxes.

Let me get this prototype built and test fit and then whoever wants to go first can give me the specs.
All updates will be posted here, stay tuned!

 

[kevinmrowland]

A whole week and no updates, geeesh, who does this guy think he is.

 

[ProwlerDriver]

i am seriously curious to whether westfalia vw vanagon front seats would be a viable option in the cruiser. They swivel around so i really think they would make the cruiser an awesome camper, especially if youre just hanging out in there! you could even put a table in there and play cards....
This box would obviously be ideal for mounting them.

 

[Dazed]

I had been thinking about swivel seats! I didnt know if any seats actually swiveled....great idea.

 

[kevinmrowland]

Yeah, that would be great and I've looked into making seats swivel or flip around a bit. With the Westy seats I think as with almost every other cruiser seat swap option; the pan height is going to be an issue, there is just not enough room between the seat and the floor.


And happy solstice!
