I am wanting to put new seats in my renovated Kombi. Can any one make suggestions for what kind to get. And is it difficult to get non originals passed at road worthies??

At the end of the day the seats you get will have to be your own choice, as you have to be comfortable with them. The second factor is the fitment of them. Technically you have to have an engineers report or mod plate depending on the state you live in.

So yes they may cause you problems at roadworthy time.

i have heard if the seats are non-sports seats and match the cars period and are bolted securely to the floor then there is not the need for the engineers cert. I have a set of subaru 1400 buckets in mine, they are super comfortable and compact and dont look at all out of place.
