snowie Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've Googled and searched ebay; but can't find what I'm looking for. We have an 08 panelvan conversion. I've moved the jack etc into the "boot" and I'd like to enclose the underseat pedestals on the front seats of our van, and use the space forthings we use daily, not just when we get a puncture!. Recently looked at a few new vans in local dealers, and there are some neat solutions around. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a couple? regards alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Probably best walking around a show and talking to MH builders. (The show at Lincoln is the end of the season though) Try a British company who would have them in stock, look in MMM for phone numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowie Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Bill; I tried that approach about a year ago, but the converter I contacted was clearly more interested in selling me a complete van!! I'll have a look at the shows, alan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Just thought, van converters must cover the pedestals as well. I have found Sporttec near Brum very helpful. 01527 584223. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Would have thought van seats pretty universal. Have you tried a brakers? Our seats are enclosed, with a lift out panel at front, but would not want to have to open them every day, as a bit tricky to get to, and stiff to get on and off PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 IMO best use of underseat space is batteries and charger and/or spare wheel kit, advise no use to you I know but for anybody considering a conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Does your van not have the standard Fiat under seat enclosures, a plastic louvred back that clips into place (difficult to remove) and a hinged front panel that opens downwards. If not you should be able to get a Fiat dealer to order them, probably be some silly price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Alan, I have removed the trashy plastic holders from underneath the front seats of my X250 Devon Aztec.The left hand (Passenger) seat now has a firm square cushion underneath the seat which when my wife feels the need she pulls forward to act as a footrest. The drivers seat has the orange electric power cable coiled up underneath, and it is very easy to access when standing outside the van ,and can be stored there even when a bit grubby or damp and will dry out when there. At the floor in front of the seats I removed the carpet which was supplied when new as we prefer the original rubber mats which are easier to keep clean. I make sure that the cable under the drivers seat cannot slide forward by securing it with a cycle clip thingy !! Hope this helps. Stewart. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 By the way when I got the van new in September 2009 from Devon conversions there were no plastic enclosures underneath the seats, even though their demo van had had them. Otherwise I would gladly have given you them. I did not complain about this at the time as I had many many more serious initial problems with the van which I resolved myself after realising that I was more competent than they were to do so properly, but that is another story.... :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanracer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would also like to find those enclosures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
