Yummy! It took us a while but finally got enough cash to buy some carpet to line the sides of the Van – ebay is the best place to get this from – juts search for T4 carpet Lining Kit and you’ll find a good guy called T4_world he does them in all different colours and it comes delivered with loads of spray glue too – so a real bargain!
Anyway – here’s the pics – you don’t really need instructions, common sense really! Just make sure you have a good Stanley knife!
Sorry for there being such a gap in between buying those Saab Seats and actually telling you how to fit them! Guess I just got lazy writing these blogs, or guess we’ve just been too busy messing with the Van and the new baby Corrado (Jeff to his friends!)
Anyway, there are two ways you can fit a Saab Seat to a T4 and which way you do it depends what year your T4 is. Basically pre ’96 Vans have a seat base that takes a Saab seat like a treat – you just need to take your old seat off, drill two extra holes and you’re in business. However, if you have a newer Van, then you’re in for a little more work! Just to make it hard for ourselves, we did it both ways! We got out mitts on one Pre- ’96 base which until I wrote my post below about 96 seat bases were going for about £25 and after I wrote it were going for £45+! Suppose I should have kept my mouth shut until I’d got one, but hey, at least loads of other T4′ers have got on with some top Saab mods!
So one seat base was the pre ’96 one and the other was the original one out of our Van, which is an 03 reg.
Here’s how we did it:
fitting a Saab Seat to Pre 96 Base: It is simply a case of sitting the seat on the base – marking where the holes in the runners are – they should be about 2.5mm wider than the existing holes. Mark, then drill, then bolt on – takes about 10 mins with a good drill bit!
Fitting Saab Seats to a post ’96 Seat Base: This takes longer and you’ll need to get your hands on two fabricated steel plates about 3mm thick. You need to drill through them and bolt them on to the original runner holes in the seat base. You’re doing this to make the seat base wider – because the runners on the Saab seats are about 2.5mm wider than the seat base 
EXCUSE THE ORDER OF PICTURES – AS SOON AS YOU GET TO THE ONES WHERE THE METAL PLATES ARE ON THE BASE YOU’RE LOOKING AT HOW TO FIT ON TO A POST 96 BASE, I JUST CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT THEM!
