I'm a little confused by your 2 seater 3 seater bits. But I think your after a seat to fit into a 62cm gap? and you want this seat to suit 2 people?

If your after a seat 62cm wide for 2 people i think it will be hard, all i can do is narrow off a few options. Sierra rear seats too wide, my bench in my gu patrol is 72cm and cramped as heck with 2 people so I don't think many manufacturers would make much smaller than that. but the gq utes may be narrower?

how high are the boxes? can the seat sit above them to give you extra space?

I know you said they cant be modified, but could you champher the inside edge to get a few extra cm?

from memory did some of the old volvo wagons have a very small dicky seat in the dog box section that folded into the floor and faced towards the rear.
if you can get away with a single seat in there maybe a delica van single seat or coaster bus single as they are on their own brackets etc and from memory the belts are part of the bracket IIRC.
only the first roll hurts, then its a ride..

Hey thehanko, cheers mate summed it up great!! Haha sorry for confusion guys! Yer the boxes could be gained to grab an extra 5cm but there made too well to go hacking in with a grinder! I suppose I'll just run one sports seat and that will give me extra room in the jeep a's there limited! Thanks guys

I have 4 vitara rear seats and 2 sierra rear seats if you want them you can have them. they are all split seats in different colors and different paterns. Most of them still have the seat belts on them.
