dont just chuck out the old bench seat, turn it into a couch.
might have to go find a spare bench seat set up (weld together) and do this eventually...

I'm wanting to buy a holden rodeo, but was just wondering about how much it would cost to convert to a bench seat, including the relocation of the hand brake and cables.
Cheers fellas

Vs series 3 ute
I'm convertingmy 3 seater to 2 seats ATM. As practicle as having he extra seat is,it looks very ugly and seeing as my ute was being recarprted, I thought **** I I'll go to the wreckers and buy. A centre console. The trimmer cut themisdle seat out so now it's just the 2 seated but I've just gotta find a hand brake assembly now to put I. In the right spot
Did you have to change the heater box in behind the dash

As Promised, a couple of Pictures. Yes its not super clean, has been on plenty of dirt roads and currently gets driven over a road thats covered in wet muddy type dirt daily.
Anyways
Cable comes out below the Handbrake by the drivers side.
Goes across in a solid type of tube.
Over the exhaust but under tailshaft in possibly some heatsheild set up (it felt metal like, no plasticy)
Then into that set up which looks exactly where the normal central handbrake would be.

Hope that assists.
