T6 lwb 9 seater rear bench seat - Q and image request

[scotia]

Hello,

In the midst of transforming our lwb T6 9 seater to a 5 seater (keeping the rear bench seat and singles up front).

I have the seats in the basement and i had a sudden thought that i have no real idea to the space between the seat and the sides - i have planned to install rear speakers from absolut so it got me thinking...! (and panicking!)

Has anyone got a lwb kombi with the seats in - can someone take a picture of the two sides for me? save me lugging the seat into the van just for that...

We have the rear heater so the right side has the huge plastic covering, but the left is the standard panels and wheelarch...

thanks alot if someone can help out!

Not sure I follow your question, in so much as the kombi generally comes as a 5 seater (if single seats up front, or 6 if you have double bench up front). Therefore if you are having a row of three seats across the middle of the van between the sliding doors, why do you think your seat won't fit, when that is how most kombi's will come off the production line.

Sorry, I may just be being dense, I have been at work all day after all.

sorry it wasnt clear..

i have the rear 3 bench seat which is going back into our kombi (not between the sliding doors - further back).

I need to know the space between the right and left sides of this bench seat and the van - ie will two speakers fit into the left panel and the right plastic ok without fouling on the seat..

i could just take our seat upstairs and fit it to see, but its a bit of a job and i'll have to ask for help so if i can avoid it i will.

Oh I see. I know that @zipcode has had a bench seat put across the back section of his van but don't know if that's a triple or double. I'll what's app him and ask as he's not been on the forum for a while.

ok thanks! its the 3rd row seating - original vw just going back into the van (lwb 9 seater) for us..

Hi, yes I have 9seater swb. The 3rd row is a 3 seat bench. See pictures.... sorry it's a bit dark outside but hopefully you get the idea.

@ZipcodeUK. Yeah Zippy's here. First time I've seen a couple of shots of your internal panels since getting it back from Absolute. You're going to have to post some more up now.

Just been too busy this last 3/4 weeks with work and family. And the sunny days are being consumed by BBQ's, getting out on the motorbike. Will get some pics the next time I give it a wash... most likely the weekend.

Well you go steady on the crotch rocket. Hope you're not one of the screaming engines I hear from the back garden whizzing up the A422 behind me.
