    Seat backs

    Guys. I have bought a van with the hard cover on back of the buckets missing. I have two questions;
    1. What are these made of? Guessing ply say 6mm?
    2. I can see they attach on the bottom with small bolt or screw but there isn't anything obvious at the top or sides. Pics would be great.
    THANKS

    The colour of course is Vynacoat Grey the same as all the rear interior paint. Different year models had different amount of self tappers screws holding the seat panels on.

    I don't like the look of them, I left mine off, but I guess if I were restoring an original I'd put them on.

    Mine were painted white, the same as the back of the van's inside rear section.

    it's not white, it is vynacoat grey. Looks white though as it is a light off white.

    Thanks fellas. Can't leave them off as the vinyl trim I have doesn't cover that part so good view of foam and springs etc if I don't cover them.

    Then grey vynacote if you want to be original, or in my opinion, painted the same colour as the seats or wrapped in the same material would look a lot better.
