Did you clip seats to unwin strips before drilling holes thru floor? YES 100%, also seat legs are currently 100% adjustable where they attach to the seat, once my floor is 100% done & my seats are finally adjusted to fit, then I will weld the legs to the seats so they cannot move in transit. (As they will be removed when needed)

What bolts n spreaders are you using to bolt down Ron?

As mentioned earlier I bought the M8 x 100 Fasteners kit direct from Unwin cost £49.75 ex delivery (Bolts are M8x45 with penny washers)

I will have many bits left over, so will offer all excess parts to forum members as a 1 off job lot 1st b4 eBay :-)

Currently will have 3 lenghts of track approx 1.7 each & guessing 25-35 countersunk bolts, penny washers & nylon nuts, they are not the usual 8.8 strenth bits either, they are all 10.9 I think, will check & confirm when I put them up for sale for COST price.



If your ok with selling the M8's, nuts and washers separately let me know please as I will have them, as in the slow process of fitting some seats to my van, let me know as soon as you know other wise I will just use the ones I have that are 8.8's,or might go and get some from a local place as I would prefer the stronger one's cheers Adrian.


Hi Adrian,

When I am finished in the back of me bus, I will list everthing I have for sale along with prices, you will get 1st offer for the m8 bolts/washer/nylon nuts m8 :)

Nice work there and I thought you were worried about the cutting out bit.
