Rear Row Forward-Facing Seat Full Conversion Kit – Land Rover Defender
Modernize your Defender’s interior and improve passenger safety with our Rear Row Forward-Facing Seat Conversion Kit. Specifically designed for Defender 90 and 110 models with traditional square wheel arches, this comprehensive kit provides everything required to transform your rear load space into a safe, comfortable seating area for additional passengers.
Safety Meets Versatility Standard side-facing benches offer little protection in modern traffic. This conversion allows you to install late-model "Puma" style forward-facing seats, which offer significantly better support and safety. Our kit includes heavy-duty reinforcement brackets to ensure that seat belts and seat frames are anchored securely to the vehicle’s chassis, meeting the rigorous demands of off-road and highway travel.
Complete All-In-One Solution No need to source individual brackets and panels. This full conversion kit is designed to be a "fit-and-forget" solution, including the essential wheel arch modifications and structural subframes required to accommodate the fold-up seat mechanism.
Kit Includes:
- Wheel Arch Conversion Panels: Precision-cut panels to modify square wheel arches to the "stepped" profile required for forward-facing seats.
- Seat Subframes (Pair): Heavy-duty galvanised subframes that provide the mounting points for the seat bases.
- Seat Belt to Chassis Brackets: High-tensile steel brackets that transfer seat belt loads directly to the chassis for maximum safety.
- Internal Finishing Covers: Custom-moulded covers to provide a clean, factory-style finish to the interior wheel arches once modified.
- Fixing Hardware: High-grade rivets, bolts, and sealant required for a professional-standard installation.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Safety: Enables the use of 3-point inertia reel seat belts and forward-facing seating positions.
- Space Saving: Compatible with "fold-away" seat designs, allowing you to retain your Defender’s famous load-carrying capacity when seats are not in use.
- Corrosion Resistant: All structural brackets are Hot Dip Galvanised (HDG) to ensure they outlast the vehicle.
- Professional Finish: Designed to look like a factory installation rather than an aftermarket modification.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Land Rover Defender 90 & 110 (Pre-2007 square arch models).
- Note: While designed for the 90, it will fit 110 models (inner wheel arch covers may require minor trimming for a flush finish in 110 applications).
Whether you are converting a commercial "Hard Top" or upgrading an older County Station Wagon, the Masai 4x4 conversion kit is the ultimate upgrade for passenger comfort and peace of mind.
LED and HID vehicle lights
Work lights / driving lights / LED spot lights / flood lights / HID headlights / LED light bars and interior LED lights
MASAI LIGHTS stocks a wide selection of LED and HID vehicle lights / work lights / driving lights / LED spot lights / flood lights / HID Headlights / LED Light Bars and interior LED Lights. We have high-luminosity LED lights and ultra bright Xenon HID lights, IP65 and IP67 compliant. Some have housings made of die-cast aluminium and others are ABS plastic. Most have wide voltage ranges.
18 to 300 watts and up to 24,000 lumens LEDs. High intensity Epistar LEDs are energy-efficient compared to filament or halogen lights and CREE LEDs are even more powerful and energy-efficient than Epistar LEDs. If you're running additional lights off a switched off engine, then high-efficiency HID and LED lights will drain the battery slower than traditional filament or halogen lights.
About Masai
Automotive Engineering since 1953
Masai is a retail brand name of our design and manufacturing company Omega Automotive Ltd, owned and managed by the Kuman family based in England and Turkey. Since 1953, a passion for automotive engineering has flowed through 3 generations of the Kuman family.
We are specialists in Windows, Metal Fabrication, Lighting, Vehicle Instrumentation, Suspension, Rubber and Cooling. We also manufacture and supply to many automotive companies around the world. See all our products on our other website at Masai.co. Or stay on this website and see them here.
We have facilities in two of Europe’s long established centres of automotive engineering - Istanbul, Turkey - manufacturing, and The Midlands UK (Lichfield) - our Northern European distribution centre.
There's been a growing demand over recent years for vehicle lighting which consumes less power and is far longer lasting than conventional filament bulbs.
LED lights very much meet that need, and for the same power consumption will produce greater luminosity and a whiter light. Recognising that, we have sourced high-quality LED and HID vehicle lights from around the world and will be bringing further ranges over the coming years.
High intensity Epistar LEDs are energy-efficient compared to filament or halogen lights and CREE LEDs are even more powerful and energy-efficient than Epistar LEDs.
If you’re running additional lights off a switched off engine, then high-efficiency HID and LED lights will drain the battery slower than traditional filament or halogen lights.
The circular light you see below is a 4-inch LED work light producing 2,150 lumens at 27 watts with 9 Epistar LEDs. It can be fitted to a wide range of commercial and domestic vehicles.
