Underseat socket/tool set/case?

You can breath a sigh of relief Scimike, I have a number of Halfords own tools and I have never had a problem with them.

My main auxiliary ring spanners are Halford advanced and I have a trade card I'll see what they have.

I have also seen this which looks interesting.

Hi Doc.

Still on the hunt for replacement seats for Tonka, so would be interested in info. on the seats you fitted in your Jimny?

Cheers

I have BB Classic BB6 seats which sit on Master Forest sub-frames.  I bought the seats on BB Classics eBay shop as their own website wouldn’t display correctly on my browser, it was the same price.  The MF sub frames were bought direct, from France, but came in 2 days.

They are quite a tight fit in a Gen3, left to right, but the sub-frames needed a couple of new holes (one side were slots with adjustment) to suit the BB6 runners so it meant I could position the seat in the optimum position, just took a lot of measuring before I drilled.  Before purchasing the seats I obtained the dimensions from the BB website of the new seats and checked them against the original seats, they are wider lower down and clearing the arm rest on the door is a bit of a game.  I don’t know if the Gen4 has more or less space?

The BB6 sit at about the same height, are adjustable, but because they are a bucket seat the base sides are higher which makes it is more of an effort to get in. My wife complains about them, but my 90+ year old mum can get in and she isn’t that tall.  Once in the bucket base and tall back with sides keeps you in the same place.  I did a 200 mile trip on Sat to take my mum out for lunch and when I got home didn’t have any pains from sitting in the seats, I couldn’t say that for the stock seats.

one more thing to note, the stock seats have the runners on the floor, but the BB6 sub-frames have the runners on top of the frame.  It means when you take the seat forwards for someone to get in the back, the sub-frames become apparent and slightly get in the way.  I always though you need to be a little flexible to get in the back of a Jimny, the sub-frames make it a little harder, but still possible.

Hope that helps

I have a 1/4 drive set and a 3/8 set under my passenger seat 
As for seats I now have W176 Mercedes seats from an A200

You need to be a 32" waist to fit into the BB5's 

You might be interested in the OEM underseat drawer Suzuki did for the Japanese market.

I've got one fitted and I just use it for Irn Bru storage
