How do you change Dispatch front seats. Advice please

Post by joyfulnosaj »

I have bought an old 2002 Dispatch, but the front seats are torn and dirty and so not as good as the front seats on my 2000 version that has just failed MOT on emisions and is not worth the repair costs., but was very clean up front.

It is the three front seat version. I have looked and there are some allen key style screws holding the seats down (4 per seat) and and a thin square nut underneath the body, but allen keys don't fit, at least the set that I have (is there some sort of special manufacturers key?

Is the nut under neath welded on (the reason I ask as it looks like two of the nuts are covered by the heat sheild above the catalytic box and I do not want to have to take the exhaust off.

Anybody with experience of changing seats advice would be much appreciated.

The fasteners most likely need Torx keys, available inexpensively from the usual tool suppliers.

TORX did it. Thanks. Managed to change seats over, but there were some tricky bolts that had to be cut ect, so as usual ended up a far longer job than the factory fitting them.
