The front drivers seat in our 73 bus are just to uncomfortable so looking at changing them. what have others used for their front seats.

Any seat will fit if you make up a sub frame.
A lot of buses seam to have 120y seats for some unknown reason???

Cheers

anyone know of a seat that has a real low base to it as i am fairly tall and at the moment i am looking thru the top of the window where the tinting is.

Try kdfwerks in tassie, or 62delux, the seats in his early bay are sweet

don't change them dude !! have someone reputable repair , repad and retrim them for you and they will be very comfortable . I have done this many times for customers with great results .

the seats are not original they are after market but the back lumber support is to hard and sits out and well it makes driving not enjoyable

Have them rebuilt by upholsterer or fit 77 onwards which go straight in and are much more comfortable.
Have fitted VS Commodore but unless you are 6' tall you won't reach pedals- Volvos fit but have similar problems.

If you can find seats from a T3 kombi they slide right in on the drivers side, keeping it genuine. They are pretty firm and have a low base so you can reach the pedals.

i have a t3 caravelle and the seats are to narrow across the back for my likng but its to much hassle to change to other types as dont they have to be engineered
