You will need a 14mm socket to undo them if thats what you mean?

Don't drop / lose any bolts either. That size is Metric Fine, and pretty hard to find in hardware shops etc.

Got long rails today, but out of a Kia Sedona, same rails just different mounting points i think. Has anyone any photos of long and short rails possibly not fitted so i can see the mounting points. Rails were only a tenner inc 2 sets of runners which are identical so worth a try. If anyone interested the sedona has 2 rear seats that rotate and they would fit pretty easily with the addition of the extra 2 small runners from the kia. Got loads of bolts also by the way.

Anyone know if the Sedona running boards/steps fit the Bongo?

Not sure but you can make anything fit if you try hard enough.

That sounds perfect, just what I'm after. Does anyone want to give it a go and show us how it's done

you would need the 2 extra small runners out of the sedona and they fit on the insides toward the centre of the vehicle im sure you could fix them to the floor by welding studs on or bolts all the way through. The seats are really nice though with armrests both sides and inertia reel lapbelts built in. It would make a really nice conversion.
