| Post subject: | Front seat options |
Dear all, As a point of interest, can anybody recommend alternative front seat options? I am just curious as to what after market or existing front seat models fit. This is with a view of putting something in that may prove more comfortable for summer touring. At present I am fine with the existing front seats as I like the originality but am nevertheless curious as to options... i.e what do the raid guys do for seats? Regards |

BX seats fit well - and it's simple to make up adapter boxes that use the BX runners. But - and this is going to apply to Visa, too - they're going to be a bugger to find. More modern Citroen seats that I've seen are tricky, as the bases are a bit more complex. Strikes me that your best bet is to have a wander around a scrappy - with a tape measure, since the width is important. |

I've got BX in my '88 2CV .....they are slightly higher than standard,but I soon got used to them. It just comes as a "second nature" now to me to make sure that if I'm first in a queue of traffic at any lights that I leave room to see the lights. I cut down the standard seat runners,and bolted two sections of one inch box section to them,and then bolted the BX seats to the box section. After years of driving 2CV's & Dyanes .....my advancing years meant that my standard seats were the wrong position for me,and a long drive would leave me with an aching right knee joint ......I've had no such problems since I fitted the BX seats. Although they do reduce legroom somewhat for rear passengers [which is of little importance these days,as I very rarely carry any rear passengers].    hth T. |

Seems odd to me that everybody suggests stuff from the Citroën range, the only thing I can think that'll fit directly in are ami8 seats, which are pretty comfy. I'd be heading down the breakers yard and seeing what's likely to fit. I leather seats out of a jaguar in my 2cv a few years ago, anything you find will require an element of fabrication to fit, unless you go for ami8 seats. |
