Try these guys in Melbourne http://www.mercwreck.com.au/index.php as they have a few T4's for wrecking.

Brookvale Spares in Sydney used to wreck T4's but not sure now...

There's also http://www.kmjeuroparts.com/default.asp

You could always send out a parts request via http://www.autoparts.com.au/sendparts.asp

Either way....I think you'll find the bench seat somewhat hard to find as few vans were fitted with one. I certainly have never seen one.....not that that is anything significant!

Thanks heaps
Whats the difference between t4 and caravelle? Do they have front bench seats?

T4 and Caravelle are the same thing. T4 is the model number (same as Ford uses EA, EB, BA etc for the Falcon). Caravelle is simply a variant of the T4. And a relatively flash one at that since it is supposed to carry passengers unlike the Transporter variant that is simply a cargo van.

Transporters are more likely to have front bench seats....and if I were a betting man I'd be looking at the early T4's from the mid 90's.

If you haven't found one yet there is a guy over here that has a few T4s. He calls himself Volks Torque. Contact him on [08] 83526233, ask for Tim Mathews.

Thanks again guys
I knew T4s and caravelles were basically the same thing but if you have a "caravelle" you can put mags on it but if you have a T4 when you try to buy mags you get "good luck finding any, next"....
Just parked next to a brand new lowace running 20s bet he didnt get a smart a$$ lecture off the tyre guys!!
Anyway so most if not all parts are interchangable between the 2?
Wasnt sure if I should be specifing T4 or caravelle when Im seat hunting!
Thanks heaps btw check out my build thread (going to add more pics soon)

Hey Nik,
give Steve Muller at Kombi Rescue a call.
Caravelles would have needed to be ordered with a bench seat.

Its the 9 seater T4 Kombi model that came with the bench seat. You might find someone (like me) that has removed it that might like to sell, but I dont know of anyone at the moment. I do know that the seat WILL NOT fit in the front of a single cab T4 ute as we tried it.

There was a place in Sydney that was installing them but they wanted big dollars -
