(Home) interior seats swap

I had an 85 Space Cruiser (which doesn't work!!) with the blue velour interior and i want to swap it with the interior of an 88 Townace. Is this possible and is it a straight swap?

Also how do i get the interior lights to shine a bit more brightly, thee are so dim...

Thanks for your help

Front seats the same, back row only different in the Royal Lounge model, which has velour seats so I guess you don't have one?
Middle row is where the fun begins. Andy in Devon did the swop the other way - Townie into Spacecruiser - with afew problems. The main one i see is can the rotating gear be fixed to the Spacecruiser seats, and there is one way to find out, at leaset you can start with the single one!
Best of luck.

Hi Clive.
Andy here in Bridport, Dorset.
How you doing?
Yeah, the only problem I have found,as I have not yet got the conversion done yet,is that not all the space cruiser seat mounts match up,you need to measure how far from bulkhead to first front seat bolts on either side,best measured in a townace,then marked out in a spacecruiser,noting where fuel tank is,drill new holes in floor,put in strengthing plates,best to find complete seats with all seat belts,finding the single seat for me at the moment seems to be a problem,also getting the distance right as the seats won't rotate properly,also the rotating gear is fixed to seats meaning you can't swop it,you have to have Townace seats,here's a point to note length of spacecruiser bench seat is exactly two and a half inches longer than Townace one.front mounting holes in floor are slanted,not flat.If you need dims of seat mounting holes Brian,email me and I'll give you the info
HTH

Think that sounds all a little too complicated.. think i'll just scrap the space cruiser and clean up the townace.. the blue velour seats are better though.
