Fitting rear seat into a Panel Van

Post by IanMills »

Evening All !
I have a 1989 Panel Van to which I would like to try and fit the rear seat from a T25 micro bus ( its the one which sits over the rear hump ) similar position to a Rock n Roll Bed.
Now there is no fixing holes I can see. if I have the seat in what I think is about the right position with the front brackets against the engine bulk head the seat sits over the engine bay hatch, preventing you from opening it. If I move it forward to clear the hatch the rear supports are flapping around in the cavity were the window should be.
Have anyone a) fitted one of these seats before and can give me some advice or b) any photos of how these were orginially fitted into a micro bus.c) any ideas about fittng seat belts?
Many Thanks
Ian
Have a nice day !
