No aftermarket bracket used. I got the original bracket removed from the seat base and got it welded back on 40mm lower. Made good and resprayed satin black. Apparently, this allows you to use the original cover after some modification (taking 40mm off the bottom of the cover). I wanted to keep it looking OEM and didn't want to use an aftermarket plastic cover.
Swapped this
For this
Still to figure out the heated part but paddles work. For heated to work it looks like airbag loom, squib and steering angle sensor, more investigation needed before I jump in and buy parts. Found some good info on other vw forums though so by no means giving up on this idea.

Not my work but SnugCampers at Malton are well on with my day/work van conversion. Swivels fitted, insulation, sound proofing and carpeting completed, suede effect headliner installed along with spots and minor electrics. Altro flooring in and window openings cut ready for fitting. The brackets for the F45s are on their way back after being powder coated black. Very excited about getting Doris back on Tuesday.

What device or component did you buy for wireless play?
Another shout-out to Jason and the team at @Absolut5 who did the sound proofing and audio upgrade on my 6.1 yesterday. I had the pleasure of a round-trip from Hampshire to Devon directly afterwards and was smiling the entire way. My van is transformed...so much quieter and the sound is just awesome! These guys are good at what they do and I would very happily recommend them to anyone, albeit that you may have to wait a while, as being that good means they are booked for a few months in advance!
Today I made and installed my third window blind panel. Just got one more to do tomorrow.
Wow that looks fantastic. That might be a project for the first warm months next year.
Fourth blind and carpeted panel finished and for some reason all the middle row of hidden trim clips have popped out. So tomorrow I’ll remove it and put visible trim clips along the centre. These will be hidden behind my backrest cushions when they arrive on Tuesday. So annoying though.
Actually surprisingly easy. Definitely wait until it’s warmer though.
Looks the biz @Jayjmac
