Mine has a hard top so I'm probably going to have rig something up or find an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well that's a bummer. Mine has a hard top so I'm probably going to have rig something up or find an alternative. Hard top should, I think have a pair of brackets riveted to the inner edge of the tub top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retriever Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I cut little slots on the tub top they then slot straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewstop Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Those seats with the grey trim are for late Defender / Wolf onwards, they fit in slots fitted to the inside of the body. The Series seats were normally in a black trim with larger brackets to fit over the tub sides of a soft top vehicle. An example of the later grey seats can be seen in the picture below (along with a younger me pretending to strip a 'borrowed' USMC M16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAS3 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah I knew they weren't for a series but I did think that they would be interchangeable. Maybe I won't bother with them and try and find some SWB bench seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sandy, is that a boiling vessel I see on the rear bumperette? How did you jimmy a power source for it etc? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewstop Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Robin, It most certainly is a BV and it proved to be brilliant over the three months my crew lived out of our 110 FFR Rebro, a bit of a throwback to when we had Sultans as armoured CP's. I wired it to the 24v signals batteries using a cut off BV lead (wires C and D from the lead if I remember correctly) It needed the engine running to boil the BV but it worked fine. I upgraded to one of the new silver BV's later when they came in, that was much better because it draws a much smaller current (15 amps rather than 60 !!) and it has a switch on the front.
