problem with fitting seats with flat runners. Help please

Post by lordbrown »

Hi,

i am mid way though fitting my hyundai coupe seats to my bus but i have hit a problem with the drivers side.

I drilled the seat rails out so i could just bolt the runners through the floor (using spreader/reinforcing plates) which i thought would be an easy simple job. But the snag i have found is that where the drivers seat rail was (the one opposite side to where the seat belt is) has a box bit of section under it which is going to be impossible to get a spanner under it to tighten where the seat bolt is going to go once the seat is in place.

How have people got round this?

Hope this even makes sense? any help will be great.

thanks
Always an adventure...

Hi,

I had the same problem. You can either cut the bottom of the box section so its shorter and you can get your hand in, Or you weld it in.

I got my daughter with smaller hands to tighted the bolts by hand with a second botl on then had to weld it aswell.
