Greenbrier examination

[Boxer]

Thank you all for valuable information. Anyway, the van will be shipped in a couple of weeks from Norfolk, va. to Gothenburg.
I have one request:
Do anyone of you know about a second row Greenbrier bench seat anywhere, preferably nearby Virginia?
There were only 14 (!) examples of Greenbriers sold in Sweden so the market for seats is, well, rather small.

I would suggest that you check with the Corvair Ranch in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. They have a large used part inventory, and if they don't have the specific part they may be aware of other possible sources. They are about 290 miles from Virginia Beach, Virginia.

I assume that the reverse-facing seat shown above is what you want to accomplish in your Greenbrier below. I tried looking around on eBay, the CORSA website, etc. but did not see any Greenbrier seats listed. Hopefully the Corvair Ranch will be able to assist you.

Also, it would be a problem if there are no floor anchor brackets in the Greenbrier you bought. Chances are, they are under that nice Gray carpet. But if not, having the center seat without them will make installation a bug challenge.

If you contact the Corvair Ranch, I would recommend they also include the floor retainers.... just in case.

Floor anchors is a good idea. Anyway, I´ve tried to mail Corvairfarm but the mail address seems to be invalid. I also tried to phone them yesterday but they only had the answering machine.

The Corvair Ranch has been in business for many years. They are open from Monday thru Friday 9 to 5, Saturday 9 to 12 East Coast time, and you may want to recheck the email address you are using for a typographic error.

Please update with the next chapter when it arrives!

Another question:
Does anyone of you recognise the seat cover in my van? As I got another seat I would like to get it covered in the same way as the other seats.

[TexasUK]

Do you still need a seat? I have one here in the UK.

[Boxer]

Thanks for the offer. I got a seat but I don't know what it looks like until monday 12/21when I will pick up my Greenbrier in Gothenburg. I will be back with you if I need one.

[TexasUK]

If you need the seat anchors I've got them too.

The van on Swedish soil, loaded in my truck for the 500 mile final transport.
More to come later...
