Installing VW Golf GTD Seats - VW T5 Camper Project

[@santiagoamador4861]

Happy new year from Spain to all DAC INDUSTRIES comunity! Best wishes for all of you!

[@gavinroberts2840]

I’ve fitted these exact seats into my t5, dead comfy and did it without replacing the passenger base and without swivel bases. Awesome looking seats

[@DanChambersDAC]

Such a comfy seat!

[@danielrickell7590]

All the best for 2023 dude, can’t wait to see what’s in store

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, Hope you have a great 2023 too

[@mrkthmn]

I may have missed it and it's already relaxed but try a steamer on that carpet hump. It should relax the fabric and it allow it to just lay flat as well as get rid of whatever creases you have.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers bud, will give that a go.

[@NoReverse77]

My tartan mk7 gti sets are so comfy. I don’t blame you. Great seat choice.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Comfiest seat available

[@alaeddinereguig3597]

Good luck bro your follower from Algeria 🇩🇿❤️

[@garethwilliams4887]

Seats look awesome. I still miss the seats from my old Mk5 Gti! Can’t wait to see the new unit at home sorted. Thanks for the inspiration over several projects of 2022, hope you have a cracking Christmas and here’s to 2023! 👍🏻🎅🥂🥂

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thanks bud, So comfortable! Me either, Cannot wait to get moved into the new unit! Thank you for watching, Glad you have enjoyed the content. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy new year.

[@h12st_d63]

Another great year for DAC, kudos brother and good luck for the next projects 👌🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, been another amazing year! Hopefully '23 will be even better though.

[@jamesbarrie2965]

Great vids, all the best for 2023👍

[@Pmonnike]

19:03 Hi Dan, enjoy following your projects. Have you considered fabricating a ‘sliding mechanism’ below the seat, so you would slide the seat sideways towards the centre of the van before swilling it? Maybe that could get your driving position closer to being aligned with the steering wheel. You could perhaps achieve this sideways motion by using a ‘standard’ set of seat rails mounted sideways between the adapter plates.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hi bud, Not a bad idea. being slightly off centre doesn't bother me

[@malcolmyoung7866]

I can remember when VW’s came from the factory with offset seating and pedal arrangements… Been thinking of some seat upgrades for my LT35 there are some nicer T5/T6 wondering if seat bases are ‘interchangeable’ I doubt it but you never know. Also had a look at some Audi seats but mainly only for ‘shi7s and giggles’. Great to see progress on your workshop. I can relate to tools rusting etc.. worst time of year for ‘inside rain’ in my garage..

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you for watching Bud, Glad you have enjoyed the content. Hope you had a good Christmas and have an amazing 2023.

[@philtucker1224]

Dan if you want to get rid of that loose bulge in your carpet, just warm up a few clean house bricks in the oven, lay them on a piece of cardboard on top of the carpet. Remove the instep again on the drivers door side and gently stretch across and re trim the carpet accordingly before replacing the instep. That should fix it! Very best wishes for an excellent new year buddy!🙏😊👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers bud, Will try and sort it out next week. Hope you have a great new year bud.

[@Tfr2135]

If you choose te mount a tin roof, maybe sound deadening the inside will improve sound quality. It may be cheaper than sandwich panels.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Yes, Will be going for a tin roof. will be using quilt insulation and then plaster boarding the ceiling to hopefully help with noise.

[@ian_morg]

R+D at its best 😎👍🏻 Workshop is gonna be bad ass. Merry Christmas and have a fab New Year 😎👍🏻

[@DanChambersDAC]

Really enjoyed sorting these! Should be a decent space when it is done! Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year.

Cheers bud.

Awesome seats mate and merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@Meza201]

Did you do a video of putting the ply floor down? Been watching the videos in order and it goes from grey foam floor in the last one to ply in this one !

[@ringonotts]

It's going to be interesting to see your camper units design that works with the swivel drivers seat. Certainly not the normal design i'm sure! Happy Christmas! Ringo

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Enjoyed all your builds this year Dan and learning lots along the way. About to put WRX seats into my Subaru Forester. Your new place is looking great too. Merry Christmas and Happy New year bro from Australia.

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you so much for watching bud, Glad you enjoy the content. Ooh, How do the WRX seats look in there? Hope you had a good Christmas and hope you have a great new years.

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

@@DanChambersDAC Some changes to seat rails are needed to get them up to the right height but should be a easy swap. The cabling so far is 'plug and play'.

[@fluffstar_]

Nice work Dan 👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers bud

[@Kajune11]

Good luck bro and a happy new year for you and your family from the Netherlands

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year

[@MrGraminou]

Thought max height of buildings under permitted development was 4.1m? T5 looking great

[@DanChambersDAC]

Not an issue when you have full planning 😉

[@kempie2007]

Just found you for your T5 content as I'm looking at getting one, Your videos are getting me excited to get one I think you should get Lewis at project7 to retrim those seats tho dude 😁

[@JohnWD40TC02]

The T5 is looking really good Dan and the seat conversion looks like it's meant to be there, with you rejigging the adaptor plate from Transporter HQ you should get royalties from each sale of the one you designed😆😉 The new workshop should be ideal when it's done mate as it's always best to build from scratch so you can design and build it then fit it out just how you want it for your needs, moving in by the end of Feb is pushing it a bit but knowing you it will be done, you could always ask the good folks from DIY S.O.S to help😁 Hope you and your family had a great Xmas🤗👌👍

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thank you bud, Will put that idea to them! Thanks bud, I can't wait to get moved into the new unit. Will give it my best go to get in by the end of Feb 💪 Thanks, We had a great Christmas. Hope you had a good one bud.

[@RetroRewind77]

Loving the work on the van dude 👊🏻 hope you had a great Christmas and the best of luck with the unit.

[@carlpeterson1888]

Nice.... But when we on with that mk2 golf Beatle ?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers, Will be back on that once we are moved into the new workshop.

[@RickBarnish]

Great work once again. I was starting to think you had forgotten about the home workshop over the T5 haha. Glad things are still pushing on. Merry Christmas and Happy New year but most of all keep the epic work coming. Oh and I can't wait to see some lathe work too.

[@robertrogers9070]

Great video n help in fitting seats jus one question wot do u do with the seat belt warning? Fitting golf R seats

[@TNDTutoring]

Great work Dan the home Workshop will be a great size, are you fitting insulated composite cladding and roofing?

[@DanChambersDAC]

Cheers bud, Should be a decent space when done. Not going for pre insulated panels.

[@mattaria]

Great video, solved a few problems I’d been searching for solutions for. One question though, how much lower are these seats compared to standard?

[@MikuOffiziell]

Nice job

[@riper348]

Not tempted to take the front park of the bracket off that's hanging over on passenger or is it needed?

[@DanChambersDAC]

This will be trimmed back on the final plates yes, I just didn't want to cut too much off the plates for now.

[@roybarber7805]

What material did you use on the lower trims Dan?

[@geek9642]

Do the non swivel plates keep the seat central to the steering wheel?

[@DanChambersDAC]

They will keep the seat central if bolted direct to the seat base yes.

[@davidrodenhurst3299]

Hi Dan, Merry Christmas, loving your series on the T5. Have you sorted the central locking issue yet? I have the same problem on mine. Not brave enough to delve into it yet, hoping you would be able to show me the way😁

[@DanChambersDAC]

Hi, Thank you! Hope you had a great Christmas. I changed the battery in the key 😂 realised that the key had been programmed so you press it once and it unlocks the front, press it twice and it unlocks the back....

[@robbie7298]

Hi Dan does the handbrake on a t5 clear the THQ seat plates ??? Kind Regards

[@mattbtid9296]

Great work mate looks awesome but one question will a lupo dash and lower dash fit straight into a 6n2?😎

[@DanChambersDAC]

Thanks bud, Sorry I am not too sure.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hi mate. Does this exist yet. Is it made and available? Also…. If they are not 3 door that lean forward. Can it still be done. I can by winding the winder

[@Stark16905]

I had the same question, is this part available yet?

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@Stark16905 ye mate. It’s available at transporterhq👍🏻

[@172brv]

What's the thickness of the plate from THQ?

[@garybowland3009]

Hi what head unit did you use as I'm having the same issue with the one I have in my t5 now many thanks

[@StephenHartleyBrundrett]

Which drivers seat would fit that comes with an arm rest already? I have a t5 but not familiar with golf's n polo's and the like .

[@penguin_surf1619]

Patiently awaiting the prices of the GTD seats to go through the roof 😂

[@mcjjordan]

How high do them seats sit now?

[@DanChambersDAC]

They sit a little lower than the standard seats I think. I have them set as low as they will go.
