Rear Row Forward-Facing Seat Full Conversion Kit – Land Rover Defender
Modernize your Defender’s interior and improve passenger safety with our Rear Row Forward-Facing Seat Conversion Kit. Specifically designed for Defender 90 and 110 models with traditional square wheel arches, this comprehensive kit provides everything required to transform your rear load space into a safe, comfortable seating area for additional passengers.
Safety Meets Versatility Standard side-facing benches offer little protection in modern traffic. This conversion allows you to install late-model "Puma" style forward-facing seats, which offer significantly better support and safety. Our kit includes heavy-duty reinforcement brackets to ensure that seat belts and seat frames are anchored securely to the vehicle’s chassis, meeting the rigorous demands of off-road and highway travel.
Complete All-In-One Solution No need to source individual brackets and panels. This full conversion kit is designed to be a "fit-and-forget" solution, including the essential wheel arch modifications and structural subframes required to accommodate the fold-up seat mechanism.
Kit Includes:
- Wheel Arch Conversion Panels: Precision-cut panels to modify square wheel arches to the "stepped" profile required for forward-facing seats.
- Seat Subframes (Pair): Heavy-duty galvanised subframes that provide the mounting points for the seat bases.
- Seat Belt to Chassis Brackets: High-tensile steel brackets that transfer seat belt loads directly to the chassis for maximum safety.
- Internal Finishing Covers: Custom-moulded covers to provide a clean, factory-style finish to the interior wheel arches once modified.
- Fixing Hardware: High-grade rivets, bolts, and sealant required for a professional-standard installation.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Safety: Enables the use of 3-point inertia reel seat belts and forward-facing seating positions.
- Space Saving: Compatible with "fold-away" seat designs, allowing you to retain your Defender’s famous load-carrying capacity when seats are not in use.
- Corrosion Resistant: All structural brackets are Hot Dip Galvanised (HDG) to ensure they outlast the vehicle.
- Professional Finish: Designed to look like a factory installation rather than an aftermarket modification.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Land Rover Defender 90 & 110 (Pre-2007 square arch models).
- Note: While designed for the 90, it will fit 110 models (inner wheel arch covers may require minor trimming for a flush finish in 110 applications).
Whether you are converting a commercial "Hard Top" or upgrading an older County Station Wagon, the Masai 4x4 conversion kit is the ultimate upgrade for passenger comfort and peace of mind.
