I put ba xr6turbo / xr8 seats in my ute,

3 of the 4 bolt holes lined up.
Just need to extend one of the back holes with some plate about 50 mm and shorten the little knob you use to tilt the seats
there sweet seats.

I can get some pix if you like.

ARB quoted me 3700 ish to install front and rear air lockers
so its better than arb's price

i have a lock rite auto locker in the front of my GQ patrol and it works very well.
but i am still buying a air locker as i like the ability to turn it off when you want to.
