I want back Seat
Has anyone put a back seat in their FC? It would nice to have one. I was wondering if their might be a kit or something or if someone has fabricated something. If you've done it how much room does it have?

I must be the lucky one then, I have a short petite wife at 5'2" and an 8 yr old son that fits very comfortable back there when the wife has her seat up . It is more like a 2+1 though unless all occupants are less than 6' in length .

Exactly what is the point of these seats anyways? You seriously can't put jack *** back there. I had a red set and tried to sit back there, not to mention there wasnt any leg room, but the place for your *** was about half of what I need (I'm well under 200lbs). Sorry just had to bitch about something.

If it would work, I could always buy a set, throw it in the rafters and use it when it becomes necessary.

Got another good question related to 'em... How's the view over the top of those suckers? They don't look like they create any bigger of a blind spot then the FCs already have.

Hey Everyone,
Before answering the Lozerkid's question let me say, I've had FCs with both "back seat" and with the storage bins.
I much prefer the seat. Yeah, you can't really put anyone older than 6 in 'em, but it's very convenient to have a place to put your jacket, brief case, computer bag, etc without having it slide all over the place. Also, with the seat up, the space behind becomes a much more convenient place for groceries, again, without having them slide all over.
Believe me, having had both for several years each, the seat is great. We just have to call it something else besides a "seat", just to be accurate.
To my point. I have an '87 TII which I bought without the seat. It needed work, so got parked. In the mean time I found an '88 with leather interior and back seat. I drove it for some time, then blew the engine.
Long story short, I moved the interior from the '88 to the TII and now have a TII (more fun to drive here in the mountains) with a leather interior and back seat.
My suggestion, find a 2+2 in a salvage yard and buy the seats. The back seat comes out in just a few minutes (when you know how) and I expect you could probably get it for a reasonable price.
If you'd like some photo's and how-to, I'd be happy to provide. Just drop me a note, and I'll whip something up.

Hey,
I put one in my TII. It's easy and I like having the space. Yeah, you're not going to put a person over 5years old in it, but it's very useful for a place to put stuff. Briefcase, computer bag. Also, that's where my dog rides and she's very comfortable.
You can take the seat out of a wreck in about an hour and it'll drop right in. I have pix if you can use them.
