What rails do I need for 2015 Transit minibus double seat?

Postby Clantara » Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:19 am

Hi, this is my first post. I am presently converting a Mk6 ex minibus lwb Transit. Today i bought a double seat with integral belts from a 2015 Transit minibus lwb to increase the seating capacity from three to five. I am unsure as to which type of rail is compatible with this seat, whether it be unwin, Ford's own design or something else. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

It’s fords own design I would try wear you got the seat from and see if they have them and if the seat you have is the removable centre rear it will have 2 pull handles 1 each side if it’s a seat from somewhere else in the van the only difference is they do not have them just put a cable tie in each 1 so you have something to pull on if you need to remove it .when I removed and sold the full set out of my van because I didn’t want the trouble of cutting up the rails and selling one at a time as some of the rails had 2 seats on them so they may have sold 1 seat with the rail for 2 seats .

Guy I bought it from didn't have the rails. He did have the 4 holding down bolts though. The seat doesn't have the pull handles. Thanks for your response. I'll try ebay and Amazon to see if they have the Ford rails.

I'm in the process of converting my Mk8 minibus, and the seats complete with rails are available. I'll cut the rails for individual twin or single seats. But won't sell the rails separately as it may make the seat unsellable. On mine only the rear middle twin has pull-handles to release them. All the other twins have to be unclipped manually. The singles are all bolted in.
