Hi All

Would like to but a rear bench seat into the Searider that can fit the fuel tank inside - any thoughts or suggestions on where to look for one of these?

I think you may find it hard to buy one that will fit. How about making one yourself?

Right where's that hubby of mine gone.........

On a serious note - is it a fairly easy thing to do - have noticed a few threads on console building I assume this is even simpler??

There's quite a few people on here do "Delux to Jockey" conversions on SR4s. Could maybe get a seat module(s) from them?

That's a good idea. I think chewy had the seat bases for his. Worth asking him.

Oh hang on, I don't think you'll fit fuel tanks under them.

Certainly not the front facing ones, but I have a distant memory you could get one under the rear bench?

I may also be talking b*ll*cks and be thinking of a completely different boat....... It wasn't yesterday!

Hi Chewy

That would be amazing - thank you

Let me know what I owe you etc etc - but don't worry if your mate is now using it for soemthing else - like an up turned planter - in his garden
