blackxt 699 Posted December 7, 2014 Has any one fitted a Manuel to a car still with a bench seat , I love having three seats I was thinking I may be able to get the seat notched like a hilux or something . <br /><br />I'm open to ideas if any ones done it before.

Mr Polson 10,214 Posted December 8, 2014 My ute is T5 manual with a late XF series bench seat. Fits, just, and I can still carry two passengers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Polson 10,214 Posted December 8, 2014 I have an auto hump from a ZK sitting on the floor, just held in place by the rubber floor. Means the seat can't be moved forwards though. Will grab some pics this arvo for you. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thom 6,654 Posted December 8, 2014 Xh and xg had a bench 5 speed option it was actually 2 buckets with a fixed center seat that also folded into an arm rest as well as a very short center console that was just big enough to mount the shift boot to 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted December 8, 2014 Here's some pics In first gear Second gear (this is the most annoying when you have a full ute of people) And in neutral Perfectly comfortable and spacious when you're in third and fifth. I've done 300km+ trips with two adults plus me before. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackxt 699 Posted December 8, 2014 Nice , that's what I had hoped i could do , I'll have to get a hump for the shifter I'll unpick one from a ea if I must. <br /><br />I had planned on making a custom shifted that just goes staight up , and not layed back , so might give me another half inch gap between the seat in second.<br /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gromet88 3,042 Posted December 8, 2014 ive had custom seats done before for xk-xf in utes seds and wags for the conversion. it can be done and any interior place will do it for you, may cost a few mangoes but never the less, if its something that you need, youll pay. i wish i had all my photos but i the last one i got done was a XM surf wagon that we converted to ed 5L T5 but he wanted to keep the original interior (except dash gauges) so the bench seat had to stay. was a few years ago but point is, can be done!
