Default Re: Phaeton Front Seat Removal

To provide more wriggle room up front?
Every person that drives a 28 or 29 Tourer knows the difficulty in climbing in and out of the front seat. Since the seating is in question please let me ask another relative question starting with an explanation. I have modified my ute by replacing the inner spring seat back with a foam biscuit about 2 inches thick and then pushing the squab under and back. Not perfect but much improved. My Tourer, I had an upholsterer remove the rear set of squab springs and stitch up the cover.A little better but still ordinary. Of course with both I modified the wooden squab mount to allow more room to fit my feet through. Both the Ute and Tourer have different panels at the rear of the front seat; the ute being square and the Tourer being rounded at the ends. I am wanting to remove the Tourer seat back, the inner spring support and replace likewise with a 2 inch foam back but it is not as easy as the Ute because the Tourer does not have a square seat back.
For Tourer read Phaeton and Ute read Pickup.
Is there any suggestions from readers?
