Hi have tried searching but cannot find answer.
Can you simply fit a T4 seat into t25? and if so can you use t4 swivel?
thanks

Sure can, this is what I have.

Take runners off the swivel and attach seats to the swivel

Works for me too.

Early ones fit straight in, may need to trim the runners to fit.

I have one fitted way more comfy than original seat

Do they fit into the T25 runners then (apart from trimming them down) and what is "early"?

I don't know cross over dates but the 1st few years then runners changed I believe, all info was on 8090 will try and find links later.

Hi
have now got set of t4 seats -one with swivel. However they have the rails attached. How do i seperate the rails and runners is there an easy way or is it a grind off the tabs on the end of the rails ( the bit that would be fixed to the van in the t4?
to attach the swivel do i just drill holes through the existing rails on the T25 and bolt through to under the wheel arch as the bit the rails sit on is a closed section?
Sorry if this all sounds like simple stuff but i dont want to ruin a set of seats.

Thanks
John

Can you post pictures of underside of T4 seats ?

If you have the rails and runners I'd just unbolt the ones from the van and bolt the T4 ones in.

I have a set of late T4 seats in my van...
it took a bit of fettling but i removed the T4 specific runners and bolted on the original seat runners.
Its a bit of a pain but they are comfy, have adjustable arm rests and in total ended up being less than half the price of a decent set of T3 captain seats.
