Whatever you get, they need to work with the seat belt pretentioners and the seat airbags, if fitted. It mill make the airbag light come on on the dash if not. Mk1 focus seats should go straight in, could try some focus rs seats?

ello lol, rich we was gonna use all the transit runners and build a subframe for the bottom of the seat to mount to the transit runners. what you think?

yes it will work, but the wiring under the seats need to plug into the seat belt pre-tensioner and airbags if fitted. If not then the airbag light will come on and thats an mot failure.

rsfido_1989

surely all the pre tensioner is on the runners not the seat base? not had the van apart to look yet.

Possibly, don't know really! Just making you aware that you will still need to keep the originaly ford seat belt latch, and airbags, if fitted.
