I wanna put a bench seat into my hatchback and just need ideas of best way to go about it due too it needing to flip forward. Is it best to get a lx/lh bench seat go from there or hunt down seats and modify centre? Any suggestions or better ways too go about it would be appreciated. Thanks howie.

You could use an EH or HR Camping seat as well,if you were happy to go without headrests.

Headrests are an ADR legal requirement
Seen a few Toranas lately without them though.... I don't like the look

Even if it wasn't legally required you'd be stupid if you didn't have headrests.
