Thread: 30-06ai 60 series custom landcruiser build

@dannyb I've heard Hurricane adapters are shit. I believe McKinnon’s Cruisers in aussie have a better solution if you want to go down the path of the xr6 seats.
Alternatively I've got a set of leather BMW e46 seats that can be fitted into a 60 with Torfab brackets. There is a video on how to get electric positions and heated options working. Only want $200 for them too

Can you pm me details or your contact information so I can discuss ? Mckinnons don't appear to make seat kits for 60 series, and the torfab version I would have to buy (early 65) I would need to cut lots of my floor and original mounts off and drill mounting holes etc quite a bit of modifying and it would not stand up to LVVTA standards for many reasons no doublers, not capitve/fixed nuts for the mounting bolts etc etc. That would also be irreversible.
The beauty of the huracan kit is that it uses the factory mounts and is 100% reversable and the falcon seats have no internal electrics that could short out in a water ingress situation.
What exactly have you heard is "shit" about the huracan kit ? as I have only found good feedback in my research thus far, genuine query as I'm trying to reduce my cert headaches not make them worse.
Thanks
Danny

If you talk to your certifying outfit and they are happy to cert using the bolt-in kit with the Falcon seats, that's 99% of your issue sorted. Getting through cert is like the Monopoly moment - pass Go take your $200 and be happy! If there is an issue with the adapter rail kit going forwards after you get cert, that's a warrant compliance thing and then you can chop chop if you need to. The less headaches you have to get cert and get the thing on the road the less time and cost you have to endure!
