Anyone With SWB Terrano

jims-terrano · 15-01-2017, 14:03

Hi all can anyone with a SWB do me a little measuring please.

With the rear seat back rests folded forward can you measure the distance between the tailgate and the back of the front seats. Both with the front seat pushed all the way back and also the seat pushed all the way forward.

Cheers

You still need it tonight? If tomorrow morning is OK, can do - no light outside now, and freezing rain

You need inside measurements, as in till the doorcard of the tailgate?

jims-terrano · 15-01-2017, 19:10

Yes you got the idea Roel.

No hurry really just toying with ideas for the minute. It all started because I saw a great 3litre van yesterday but it sold same day.

I would too, if I didn't have a nasty flue at the moment. Bluntly said, cannot be very far from toilet facilities at the moment...

Hopefully tomorrow medicines kick in

jims-terrano · 15-01-2017, 21:55

The pic shows a car not a commercial, so might be rear seat, but depends on position of seat.

What are you trying to fit in? lol

Toying with different ideas Uncle, Id have to kill you if I told you

Quite like a terrano van, can't take many people with me which is an adVANtage

Had to go out to turn the genny off, so popped a tape in my pocket, my off road Mav has 1300 at the top of the back rest (which is laying back a bit cos I have long arms) so at seat cushon level you will prob gain 50mm or so, my seat is pretty much full back ( I am 6ft), guess judging by the slidders that you could gain 100mm on that, but could not put the seat forward as my slidders rusted up long ago, so you could get I recon 1500 with a bit of seat sponge compression, Rick

Cheers Rick.

Haha Don Simon, not sure it would make a camper.

Thinking about some kind of bench to mount radio equipment, drive to top of hills and play radio.
