Securing the backrest of a RnR bed

[bideford]

The guides that attach the release mechanism bar and lever are no longer secured to the plywood back due to the screw holes becoming worn and oversize (the screws were kept in place by matchsticks by the previous owners!). I have seen some examples where the mechanism has been removed and replaced by bolts on either end of the seat. Anyone any ideas to resolve this (it must be fairly common) or am I faced with the less than satisfactory bolt job? Priority must be to secure the seatback securely (two kids to cherish) and satisfy any MOT reguirements (if any). Lap belts are fitted and I am aware of the postings regarding the fitting of three point belts (which is another story.....).

Thanks in advance.....

I have two bolts holding the back rest. They haven't been mentioned during mot and work fine for me. Have had occasion to brake hard once or twice with two fairly well built teenagers sitting in back without any prob's.

Thanks jpee - looks like this could be the way forward.

Hi

have just received our rock n roll hinges from CAK, after trying to buy a frame to no avail, apparently none available anywhere!!! Any way any info or pictures would be a great help as we need to fit a 3 point seat belt for our son.

Thanks in advance
