Thread: O/T Adding more seats to a Ford transit custom

    O/T Adding more seats to a Ford transit custom

    Guys anyone know who would be able to source and install an additional two seats in a transit custom behind the front bench. Most companies I’ve looked at in South Wales only seem to do VWs.
    Many thanks for any help!

    Maybe worth messaging Jimmy the Jock. He knows his onions.

    Last year I bought a modest campervan that a previous owner had converted and he or she had created an arrangement so that the rock and roll bed (not my terminology!) had two seatbelts when it was arranged as a wide seat. However, I have just found out that my insurance only covers the number of seats in the Vehicle reg document and that the ones added are currently unusable as a seats when travelling. Something to bear in mind perhaps.

    Just be careful with regards to change of vehicle usage.
    If you adding in windows and seats (especially a 3rd row) to a Panel Van then it’s classification could change from a commercial vehicle to a passenger carrying vehicle.
    This will then be taxed on emissions.

    Yes, I knew about the insurance thing - and also getting an MOT after seats are fitted. It’s just trying to find someone to do it - I don’t fancy drilling holes in a van floor myself! Knowing me I’d drill into
    The fuel tank!

    That would be very draining
