T3 Bluestar R&R bed/seat

Post by flying haggis »

Hi all I've just managed to get a original bluestar bed for my bus only I've not a scooby on where all the brackets go.
So I'm after a few pics if possible of where the seatbelts are mounted and where its bolted down etc
Any help would be magic.Cheers

What van are you putting it in? Do you have the pins, spacers and brackets?

Panel van= You need to have the brackets welded in the correct position, then you need the square spacer blocks. Screw pins in. Jobs done.

Caravelle= You can either move the brackets you have then swap pins, make an adaptor up between the existing brackets and wear the back of the seat should be.

The thread with the pics I used for reference is no longer available. But I'll try dig out some pics.
