Fwd facing seats.......
Hi Mike,
I had a friend who did a good job of fitting the fwd facing rear seats from a J@#p to his series Landrover. ( it fit perfectly between the LR wheel arches).
You had to be agile enough to climb over the rear wheel archs to get into the rear seats. (when convertible). When the top was on he was able to climb over the (folding forward) seat from the rear door then click the seat back up & sit down, again it was a little bit of a squeeze. He also installed a rear roll bar to attach 3 point seat belts to.
You could check the local breaker yards for old j#@ps with rear seats & get your own measurments. (dont forget to take all brackets & seatbelts).
good luck,
Andy
PS. You had better check the insurance requirments for adding new seats to a "station wagon" if you want to stay safe & legal.
