Hello everyone. I have not updated this blog for some time but I still have the T4 Syncro and I now also have a T4 Syncro DOKA that I'm doing another conversion on. I have imported all the posts from this blog into a new blog located here and I plan to update this regularly and also add the backlog of posts for the past few years. I will keep this blog live for prosperity.

Trial fitting of Multivan Seats

I did a trial fitting of the rear multivan seat and matching front seats in the van today, it only took about half an hour to fit the rear seat. I had to drill a couple of extra holes in the van floor and utilise some captive nut plates which I obtained from VW. The seat then bolts down using these and the middle load lashing points, the rear shelf bolts through the rear load lashing points and I need to get some plates welded to the wheel arches to attach to also. There are a couple of u shaped brackets which have to bolted the side to support the seat back.

Measured the position of the seat and there is only room for a 57cm unit when the bed is in sleep position, there is 125cm when its in seating position. So I'm going to have to have a good think about how I'm going to fit a hob and sink in this space. There are 3 choices make the unit just with a sink and use a small cartridge stove on a shelf at the side (These are available on ebay from Germany). I could build a unit that can swivel out of the way at night or have unit with an overhang at one side.

Hi clive,

My name is dan, iv just purchased a T4 with the idea of converting it. Iv been finding your blog pretty inspiring! i was just wondering where you got your fold down seats for the back? i would love to have something similar in mine. I was going to make my own, but after seeing yours I'm having a rethink.

Thanks for your time, Kind regards dan
