Mk8 Golf Seat upgrade

[Pewt]

I got these seat fitted. They felt lower to start with and more car like but plenty of adjustment if you want to go higher. I'm 6 2" and the wife is 5 2" so all adjustments are there.

BTW i haven't missed the arm rest either because they hold you so much better.

Does anybody know if a joining loom was ever made to join the connectors from the Golf Mk8 seats to the T6 loom?

How did you overcome the wiring issue to be able to connect the cables under the seat to the seat?
Many thanks

I’m also interested in in how you wired these as I’ve just purchased some mk8 gtd seats myself
Also have you fitted swivel bases at all ? Cheers

Afternoon all!

I’ve just swapped out my drivers seat for a Mk8 Golf R version.

For Sale - T6 Drivers Captain Seat

Afternoon all! I’ve just swapped out my drivers seat for a Mk8 Golf R version. And so my old chair is now surplus to requirements. I believe the trim is Simora. It’s in great condition. No stains, rips or worn out areas. It’s had a seat cover on it since the day I bought the van. Collection...

Do these sit on captain base and are the same height?

Thought it be easier to explain using pictures. So the seats are in. The 2 plugs featured is what is fitted to the base of each seat.
They have heated seats but my T6 doesn't have this function, so I'm not interested with this function.
Need to find the pins and opposite block connectors to fit into the seats. I guess the best way is to find another Mk8 gold that's being broken and cut them from the loom...

The next set of pics is what I have on my chassis loom.

Hi, how much room is there to either side of the seats? Can they be rotated with a swivel or is there no chance?
