Extend rails for front seats.

[juzzs8]

Just a thought. Is it possible to get extended rails for front seats to allow them to go back further. I'm 6"6 and not a great deal of leg space was just wondering if it could be done. And how. And how easy it would be to get engineer certificate for it? If at all possible.

Cheers!

Justin.

Yes there is a thread if you have a search with all the details you'll need

Cheers mate. Thought there was but My first search came up with nothing. I'll give it another crack after work.

There is a thread and I think the engineering costs were $600.
Bigcol can you help at all buddy

had a search and came up blank like you, maybe some will see this and remember the thread

I vaguely remember the thread TD, but I think it was in a re-build thread....................... (old timers disease)

I know the Commodore seat bases dont go back as far as the standard Patrol ones..........
cannot remember if the Falcon ones are the same or a bit longer (not by very much)

alternative is a smaller seat on the Patrol runners............ - Tiida / Pulsar like that

i had the same issue - im 6'5
I had the whole seat moved back 3 inches
New seat mounts made and engineers mod certificate.
Was the difference between keeping the patrol and selling it for me.
Just too uncomfortable for long legged bloke in stock form.
Made a massive difference and like a new car to drive for me.

Oh nice. How much did the whole process cost you jack180 ?

I remember now the front brackets were "C" shaped and the rear one was flat;
Front one had a nut welded to it the other just a hole. need to find that post with the link
it had a pic of the part required
