I got a lovely diamond white passenger door to replace the door I currently have which had a dent beneath the door rub strip when I removed them.

what is it you have done here? is it a steal plate with the seat welded to it and and bolted into the van?
I'm looking at getting some better seats for mine and i think this could be the solution to fitting some.


No welding mate.
Taken standard seats out, Got some metal plate, about 1/4 inch thick, and picked up the existing bolt holes in chassis.
Then worked out where the seat sits best on the plates and drilled and tapped thread into plate.
Bolted seat onto plate. If need to put original seats back in then plates just come out and seats bolts back onto floor plan.
Used 12.9 or 14.9 high tensile bolts for bolting plates and seats in. No worries about bolts snapping or ripping from threads.
Then I just powder coated the plates to make the finish much better and put a green sticker saying CONNECT to finish it off.


Ahh cheers i think this is what i'm going to do :) just need to find some seats now.

I wouldn't be without reversing sensors now and an early encounter proved just how good they are.
Selected reverse after looking through the mirrors and pulled back, but there was a beep so stopped and looking in the mirror saw a person who must have been right in the middle of the van at the time.

One point worth a mention is the sensor's for the connect.The Xvision one's I originally installed were flat one's and beeped far too often - due the downward angle after fitting to the bumper.
Do your's work OK as they look a flat too?

Corrected after by fitting Xvision angled one's which work perfect.
