So if the stock base is still there, these could fit right in?

If you want to save a lot of money, go for the stock type without arm rests, a lot lot cheaper!

Like this? They need reupholstering for sure but they're cheap and local! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152265999826" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also getting a picture of the runners, hopefully today at some point

They look pretty saggy! But yes they appear to be correct. You can get vinyl covered ones as standard, as opposed to fabric, which wouldn't sag. I'd think re upholstery is v expensive. We use vinyl stock seats, with those 90s bead mats on them

Are there any specialist places I should be looking out for them? eBay seems quite limited (at the moment at least).

I have pictures of the seat bases (I hope they are okay, they were taken for me):

I was stripping out a Smart Car today and although I haven't put a tape measure to them yet, the runners seem remarkably close to T25 ones and very low profile. Will have a play next weekend. Smart seats are very comfortable - can vouch for that.

Its still got the original runners on the van so you can fit some standard seats, the later seats have a wider seat base foam so are a bit more comfy. Stick to original.

Awesome, thanks for all your help

I will find some stock seats, fit them, and then actually fit in my van. Success!

glad youre on track. if youre interested, for your handbrake handle grip (which is missing), a bmx handlebar grip with the end cut off (for the button) works very well

Early style handbrake did not have grip as standard, only carat version had one.
