Best bet is to get VH commodore (I think???) seats and put WB bucket runners on them... I have been after WB buckets since I started my build 3.5yrs ago... I got a set of VH commy seats and am going to put WB bucket runners on them, then they will be close enough to a WB set..

Good luck Jason. I will have a set too please.
If you found WB runners how come the seats were not with them? Or are they statesman runners?

i know where there is a pair, but i think he wants 150 a seat and the seats are stuffed for sitting outside

**wbute** · 30-01-2012, 11:34 PM

Whoops, didn't know they were rare, threw a set on the Council cleanup a few years back. Arggg. What's that abpout one man's treasure?

Steve I can't believe you threw out Holden parts lol!
Not many WB bucket seats around as there were no sedan versions unlike HJ-HZ. Plus most WB's with bucket seats became B&S machines and did not survive into the 2000's let alone the 2010's lol. They are real hard to find.
One of the hardest parts to find for HQ-WB are WB commercial bucket seat belt stalks, bucket seats, console lids.

lol.. i sold mine for 10 bucks, didn't think anything of it. and yes they were the originals from the van.

I've had plenty of them too. At one stage there was 4 x pairs in the shed, 2 x pairs from Kingswoods, 1 x Deville and 1 x Caprice. I think there is currently 2 x Kingswood pairs up on the mezzanine, although from memory I used the runners off one pair on VH Calais seats that I put in the Overlander before I sold it. When you compare Commodore and WB runners side by side it isn't that hard to modify them to be the same, just needs a tab welded on each end from memory, and when you do it make the tabs a bit wider on the tunnel side runner so you can capture the factory HQ-HZ floor nuts.
