It's still in it's prototype stage at the moment. But all I need to do is wind the drivers seat forward a bit and I can now sit quite comfortably on the buddy seat.
I used a seat organiser and filled the pockets with cushion stuffing, this was then fitted with poppers to a woodern back rest.
The top of the organiser fixes around the head rest and hangs behind the seat.

Still in the design stage at the moment. Might try and get a large bit of foam contoured to fit the back of the seat, then cover it so it looks like it's meant be there.
