Fitting Buddy seats

Post by necromonger »

Hi all, I have a 1987 caravelle GL 1.9. I have removed my center 2 seats and am fitting buddy seats behind the driver and passenger. The seats came with a bracket that bolts to the back of the battery compartments behind both seats. but how do they fit to the floor. The seats have 2 pegs on the bottom of the seats frame work. Am I missing a bracket that these slot into, or do I drill 2 holes in the floor for them to locate into. Being careful not to drill through the petrol tank of course. :lol:

Doesn't look like it'll fit directly to the floor. I'd be inclined to fabricate something yourself (L brackets?) rather than make holes in the floor. Is it actually meant for a t25? Looks a bit 'modern' for our vans.

so I'm told they came out of a vw multi van, which looks the same as a T25, or are they listed as something else. But i think you are right to look at some sort of L shaped braket rather than drill through the floor with the petrol tank so close.
