Reversing seats to make bed with front seats

Post by munroman » Mon Jul 06, 2015 9:02 pm

Hi, after buying a Bongo with a middle conversion, and having a few trips away, we have decided to go for a rear side kitchen, similar to the factory kitchen.
We plan to visit Bongospares in a couple of weeks to pick up middle seat and rails. We would then like to end up with a rear facing middle seat, which forms a bed with the front seats, with a Comfortz Leisure mattress topper.
I already have floor rails, but no sliders.
I'm a bit confused as to what way round the rails need to be, ideally I would like the rails the correct way round to mate up with the front seats before going to George's, so we can use the new seat as a bed straight away.
Can anyone spell out for me exactly what way round the rails should go for this arrangement, at the moment the pins which hold the track in are at the rear?

Thanks for all advice in advance!

Hi you need to change the rotation of the sliders to keep them mated to the original way they are fitted to the runners.

Thanks, hopefully everything will slot into place at Bongo Spares on Saturday! ☺

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

Thanks, it gave us an excuse to get to Yorkshire, plus I'm having issues with my AFT, so I thought some expert advice would be useful, also another club I'm in have a meeting at Gretna on Sunday, so 3 birds with one stone hopefully!

Cheers
