Best bet is to get VH commodore (I think???) seats and put WB bucket runners on them... I have been after WB buckets since I started my build 3.5yrs ago... I got a set of VH commy seats and am going to put WB bucket runners on them, then they will be close enough to a WB set..

Good luck Jason. I will have a set too please.
If you found WB runners how come the seats were not with them? Or are they statesman runners?

I think there is currently 2 x Kingswood pairs up on the mezzanine, although from memory I used the runners off one pair on VH Calais seats that I put in the Overlander before I sold it. When you compare Commodore and WB runners side by side it isn't that hard to modify them to be the same, just needs a tab welded on each end from memory, and when you do it make the tabs a bit wider on the tunnel side runner so you can capture the factory HQ-HZ floor nuts.

Yeah, thats what I'm doing... I am either going to get a set of statesman runners or modify the VH runners to look like original WB runners...

i know where there is a pair, but i think he wants 150 a seat and the seats are stuffed for sitting outside

**wbute** · 30-01-2012, 11:34 PM

How stuffed?

**V6HQUTE** · 30-01-2012, 11:36 PM

seen worse, if it was me i would swap the rails onto commy seats

Whoops, didn't know they were rare, threw a set on the Council cleanup a few years back. Arggg. What's that abpout one man's treasure?

Steve I can't believe you threw out Holden parts lol!
Not many WB bucket seats around as there were no sedan versions unlike HJ-HZ. Plus most WB's with bucket seats became B&S machines and did not survive into the 2000's let alone the 2010's lol. They are real hard to find.
One of the hardest parts to find for HQ-WB are WB commercial bucket seat belt stalks, bucket seats, console lids.

Sorry to hi jack the bucket seat thing but I couldnt find the older thread ...

@wbute ... James some time ago you were asking after some rocking horse poo (a WB console lid/armrest), do you (or anyone else here) still need one as I have the console and lid (pictured) which I took out of a WB ute. Let me know because if they're hard to get I'd rather it go to someone on mySandman before I put it on evil bay.

cheers Tony
