Constructing a bed in front seat area for growing child.

[kathyshack]

I made one up out of some box section and a couple of bolts welded in and the threads cut off to make locating pins.



Here are some more pics.

this looks great. Just been out to look at my van, and as i have high back porsche seats, i can't get them to recline enough i don't think for the higher up type of bed. Where do you buy this box section metal from, and is it expensive? Is it easy enough to cut through to, with a jigsaw? I can't weld, but maybe i could use some wing nuts ot something to hold it in place perhaps?

I don't need mine anymore. Happy to sell it if you want it £60 + postage (or could bring to Dubfreeze if your going). It has been painted and comes with a bag . I had a unit on the drivers side of the van that the pole sat on rather than a bracket. To bring it up to the correct height I welded a short piece of box. I could easily be ground off and another bracket made up.

If you want to make one yourself then have a look for a local steel merchant. The mild steel cuts easily with a hacksaw. You could use a bolt for the locating pins but it wouldn't sit flat.

Thanks for the offer Slobbo. Bit more than I've got to spend at the moment, but thanks
