Re: Has anyone installed seats into there van, need some advice?

Oh and seat belts came with seat but are not mounted in the floor of the van they are fixed to the frame of the seat with a grade 8.8 bolt through the seat frame.

Stone IPA. Always a good partner to power tools. Man I love that beer.

Jamie,

Did you receive the photos I sent you of my Captain's Chair? It looks like a fairly simple install. Sportsmobile installed it in a way for easy in and out use a couple of feet behind the front passenger seat. Sano

Sano,

Yep, sure did. I'm going to show my wife this set up and I will get back to you asap.

I sent you an email, did you not receive it?

Re: Has anyone installed seats into there van, need some advice?

I just took out the three rows of benches and am installing second-row captain's chairs, with brackets made by a local welding shop. The original seat brackets all bolted through the floor and through a thick flange coming off of a cross-ways frame rail. You can find this rail from the top by looking for the small spot welds in the sheet metal.

0" on the tape shows the back flange of that rail; the existing bolt hole goes through the front flange.
