Great advice - van caught fire last year when the old carb , which had been smelling ‘ a bit petrolly’ for 4 years, finally let go.

Hi all, I have a 71 Dormobile and want to get hold of a double minibus/ microbus seat that I can bolt in occasionally when we need 6 or 7 in the van. Here’s a pic of what I think I need on this listing...
