Hi,

in our 417 we use Recaro seats from a Porsche 9xx , covered with custom tailored sheepskin. This combo suited us well since nearly 100000km.

bye, Werner

It'd be difficult to use an air suspension seat on the driver's side of a 416 because of the small clearance between the driver's thigh and the bottom of the steering wheel. You can, though, install a spring suspended seat like the Cobra I had in Camper Mog.

For the passenger's side, I installed an extremely plush, air suspended, over-the-road trucker's seat with lumber support, thigh extensions, etc. I got this from the Freightliner Surplus store in North Portland before it closed (sniffle) for $400. I needed to have to reinstalled on a low-profile base, however.

I've no way to know if it would have fit in a stock 416 cab. Camper Mog's custom cab had much more legroom and no height restrictions for the passenger's head.

I agree with DeeDee's comment, Recaro are the best, it fits well in 416 cabin, while on our trip to Karakoram range we were driving Mogs for 15-16hrs a day and there wasnt a complaint of any pains ;). I have also put recaroz in the rear (its troops career bed)
