Porsche seats with cab bunk

[Bigbear]

Is it still possible to use a cab bunk with porsche seats fitted?

I do not know for sure but looking the height of my seats and the cab bunk I cannot see how you could get it to work with porsche seats. I am assuming you are using tombstones?

Hello

Not sure whether it helps but I have just brought a cab bunk for my bay.

On the instructions it states that you drill the holes 5" above the top of the dash board.

Taking that into account from memory I think that will not cover the top of your seats ?

Maybe wrong though ?

 

[Bigbear]

Yeah that's what i was planning anyway, would it work with the seats folded forward?

 

[Bigbear]

I've already got my original brackets fitted and use the bunk every time we take the little one away, I was planning on upgrading my front seats to porsche tombstones but if you can't use the bunk then il have to have a rethink.

No, the seat backs are in the way.

Depends if you have bulk heads or not. Nick aka Alpsbay on here has tombstones, no bulkheads and the front bunk fits, even has a swivel on the passenger side...!!

Some of the custom bunks might be persuaded to fit? thats what I'm hoping, even if the canvas need to be altered a little? holes cut/hemmed whatever?? I'm going to investigate the possibilities when i actually get to seem some bunks up close at the shows, like the looknof this one http://nlavw.com/gb/interior/41-adjustable-child-cab-bunk-for-t2-split-window.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ive got a pair of 924 seats in my bus and a NLA bunk and it fits , I just slide seats as far foward as I can then recline them as much as I can - the back pole still slightly touches headrest but it does fit . I don't no about og cab bunks with og brackets though

I removed my passenger bulk head and fitted a swivel base.
The bulk head is still present on the drivers side but I cut the top tube down and welded a new piece of tube in the lowered position.

With the Porsche seat all the way forward and fully reclined, I am now able to use the standard cab bunk.

I can send you a few pics if interested.

As has been said it is worth measuring as our bunks fit in the original westy position and I have seen many after market seats fitted that can't recline due to the original bulkhead or cabinets fitted behind. I myself have had a set of Recaros in the front of my old SA '69 panel van that I used to take the headrests off to fit a bunk over but of course this isn't possible with a tombstone seat. If you want we can give you the dimensions for our bunk fixings if you give us a call or drop us an e-mail

Had a chance to get some pics of the bunk/tombstone seats combo yet??
