Safari Rear bench seats

Post by Stuey » Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:06 pm

I have another bench seat out the back of a Carawagon De-Luxe, now somebody (who was interested in purchasing it) asked me to measure it up and compare it to the size of Safari bench seat seat. I can't remember for the life of me who wanted the details and I apologise now for the length of time as my head as been elsewhere, but nevertheless the details are as follows:

Safari bench seat:

Back: 12.5cm x 106cm x 38cm

Base: 11cm x 107cm x 62cm

Carawagon bench seat:

Back: 12.5cm x 104.5cm x 38.5cm

Base: 12.5cm x 105cm x 61cm

I hope that makes sense!

Near enough to make no difference, I'd have thought :cheers:

1958 109" Carawagon 2.25P (project)
1972 109" Carawagon 200 or 300TDi (project)

Robin,
you're right! TBH I bet some of the difference is down to the fudge factor! :roll:

Yes it does Meester FT! However I'm sure I promised it to somebody else for now, if they don't want it I'll let you know if that is OK?

Hi Stuey,

could you have been in conversation over bench seats with CATNAP (Ian) on his post 'hello fron the North East'?

Hi Stuey
No piccies as in bits (some in mother in law's garage) No doubt as restoration progresses will try to post some
Removable bulkhead bar fixings seem very rust bound so will have to try soaking them in freeing oil before attempting to remove.
A little wooden framework is left on the rear tub. Has a 'converted by Searle badge' on the driver's side of the tub (but plate is ally and not plastic like Lightweightles's carawagon on his series 3)

Presumably the Searle badges went all plastic when they started using series 3's ? Can anyone shed some light on that ?

It has got plain panel sides (no windows) and interesting little vent panel located centrally in the rear roof section above the rear door (did I mention I am looking for a rear door ?) which covers two ventilation holes. Sadly bent when I was maneouvering roof panel but will straighten out (whoops).

Stuey what size is the rear bench seat ?
Does your safari have the Safari badges on the wings
?



Kind regards

Ian

Crikey was it that long ago, will go and find Catnap now :thud:

Edit:

Found him, however it looks like he has not been on the forum since 22 Oct, sent him a PM hopefully he will get it.
