Martin, I have the same seats, also from Hybrid (Vigo seats). I have not yet fitted them, so please detail with plenty of pics the pitfalls (if any! ) so I can do the same. :thumbup:

First snag is going to be the seatbelts. The current SFA seatbelts wont fit. Wonder if the Vigo seatbelts can be used without too many modifications?

That is not really a problem. The SFA seatbelt buckle and clasp is not attached to the seat. So worst case scenario is that he will have to remove the clasp from these seats. The only problem is the length of the seat belts

Guys

Im 1.93 m tall and sit comfortably in my Vigo seats in my SFA.

Yes the seats at my lenght makes that I sit really up high and my line of sight is the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windscreen. No problems so far, must say I have driven over close to 3000 km's in the seats and it is the best thing I have done. One nice thing is having a better view of the corners of the vehicle when travelling off road.

Swopped my old seal belts out and fitted ones from an Avanza that uses the same clip as the vigo.

It took a bit of work to make them fit neatly and as low as possible for me to not hit the roof. Have done quite a lot of bad dirt road travel in the seats at speeds of up to 110 and also at times going through wash aways and rough sections. Havent hit the roof but I always wear my seatbelt when driving.

Here is a picture of it fitted in my SFA.

Ek het 2.7 seats in my van gehad. Ek is 1.84m en my hare het teen die dak geskuur. So ek weet nie of ek 'n besonderse lang bolyf het nie maar dit was my ervaring en dit is hoekom ek my oorspronklikke seats terug gesit het. Bo en behalwe die hare teen die dak skuur (en onthou ek kam my hare met 'n waslap so kort is dit) is die in en uitklim ook meer moeite in dat jy nie net kan in en uit gly nie
