Hi Pete A good excuse for a trip to northern France? https://www.palace-de-lancienne.com/products/galerie-pour-fourgonnette-f4-f6/

There's an interesting video here about R5 and R4 electric conversions. It includes a fascinating story about the part played by R4s in the construction of the M5!

Hi Rob Not sure if these are still available, but worth a try (2nd post on this page): https://www.facebook.com/groups/722986345027419/search/?q=seats

Hi I don't know whether your van will have the same system as my RHD TL (I'm guessing from your forum name that your van will be an 845!), but these pictures might help.
