Title: New (new to me) seats installed
Post by: Tikvah on January 12, 2015, 07:06:17 AM
We picked these up a the Arcadia Bus Rally used.  I was a bit nervous that they would clean up and that they could be made to fit properly.  But I took the risk - much to my wife's apprehension. 
With a bit of elbow grease and some hardware modifications (and many trips to the local hardware) we finally have seats.

No, I don't know.   I got them from a guy who was converting a Prevost, but I doubt they were built for the Prevost. 
The passenger seat sat real low for my bus, I've raised it 3" already, and probably should do another 2".  That's a lot for a seat.  So, I assume the bus it was built for must have been a different arrangement.

Those are nice seats. I looked at those at the rally for my truck but wasn't sold on the color of the inserts. 7 or $800 for two used seats was a tad steep for me. Glad they went to a good home!

Those look great! And comfy! Don't fall asleep at the wheel Dave. Raising the seat height isn't uncommon. I bought a pair of seats at my RV surplus yard and had mount the drivers seat on blocks to raise it. Works well. Nice choice.
