Cerb Seats in an 'S'?
Discussion
Has anyone tried fitting Cerb seats into an ‘S’. I know the Cerb ones fit neatly in a Chim but they seem a little bit wider across the bolsters and a bit longer than my standard ones. Given the leg room in the ‘S’ I’m assuming the length won’t be a problem but I would like to close the doors . 
are we starting a seat porn thread now? Here’s a pair of Cerb seats with a couple of panels laid over the seat and back cushions and stitched to reflect the design on the standard V8S seat. The idea is to take the stitched cushion styling cue from the original and apply it to the new seats to try and carry over the traditional look to the more modern seat and so combine the best of both (IMHO!)
You need to use your imagination now and visualise the whole seat in dark red. The question is. Which looks better, three rows (right) of stitching or two (left)?
Not a great photo but see what you think style gurus.

I’m thinking about having them re-trimmed. The look I’d like to go for is to try and maintain the “traditional” stitched panels on the seat and back cushions. Have a look at the photo in my post of 21st March showing the seats with some dummy panes showing the contrasting effect of three or four panels. I’m leaning towards the four panel pattern.
Good idea if (a) you’ve got a welder (b) don’t want to use stainless fixings and (c) can be absolutely sure of lining up the bolts with the holes. To make sure he got the bolts in exactly the right place I assume he welded them to the rails when the seats were bolted to the floor? (I smell burning carpet 
) Or perhaps he “eased out” the holes later? All that precision engineering is beyond me I’m afraid.

It just happens to be the perfect thickness to pack out the nut. The recess in the spacer just happens to be the right size to sit a penny washer in and with another washer on the other side making up a “sandwich" it means the lock nut is not transferring any load to the floor. Congratulations to Flymo for designing such an ideal part.
Weather permitting, they'll both be in tomorrow with the recovered centre console and I'll post up a photo.Gassing Station | S Series | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
