Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
I'm sure some has done this recently but can't find it
I have reversed mid seat and sliders. the rear conversion is not exactly quickly remove-able.
There is an area where there is at least 4" between slots I need a new position
has any one a photo of actual slots or home made mods to rails.

I'm sure there's a Fact Sheet to be had in the Member's area.
Someone else will likely know more.

The fact sheet refers to modifying the slider to be used in both directions
that is not what I need

Re: Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
I just drilled new position holes in the rails in my last van so I could move the seat to more positions. I used a drill just big enough for the teeth of the seat runner teeth to fit in and it worked great. Just make sure the teeth engage in the holes properly. Very easy job, nice sharp drill!

Thanks Stuc
Do you remove the runner before drilling or is there clearance to the floor?

Re: Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
I think I did it with the runner in place, with a sharp bit you have a bit more control but if you can get the runner out easy it may be better.

Thanks again
the runner will have to stay in place for a while until I can afford the time to remove the rear kitchen.
I might have to rummage in the garage to find the rearmost runner to suss the pitch and size of hole required

Re: Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
Would it be worth giving one of the converters a call, or George at Bongospares, to confirm what clearance there may be between the runner and floor?the1andonly wrote:Thanks Stuc

There is not much clearance, so you have to be careful. But it is possible.cmm303 wrote:Would it be worth giving one of the converters a call, or George at Bongospares, to confirm what clearance there may be between the runner and floor?the1andonly wrote:Thanks Stuc

Re: Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
No definitely not, when I have seen the wooden floor installed it goes either side of the rails.

Re: Additional stop positions of a revearsed seat
I was just thinking of a drill backing /tell tale to show penetration not additional flooring.
