Caravelle rear seat fittings / fixings missing?

I've recently bought a Caravelle that has had a rock and roll bed fitted and I want to return to the original rear seats.
I have managed to source some but it looks like a lot of the original fixings are missing on my van. Would anyone be able to provide some photos of the various fixings that should be there? Particularly the stuff on the sides of the seats / van.
Thanks,
John

Thanks Rob, there's a real treasure trove on there. I suspect it might be difficult to track down some of the missing bits.

If anyone does have photos of their existing setup it might help me visually work out what's going on.

I took a Caravelle rear seat out. I may have some of the fixings still knocking around. Let me know what you're missing using pictures from the mentioned website.
What is the rock and roll bed? I might be interested.

I seem to be missing the following bits from this image: https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/typ+ ... 85-129000/

7, 8, 9, 10 and 12. I think the most important bit is 7 (the pin) as I imagine the hex bolts are relatively easy to get hold of. It would be great if you or anyone else had any of the pins lying about (I need two), the hex bolts would probably be useful too.

I'll take a photo of the rock and roll bed if you're interested. It's full width and quite long but the length is likely due to poor fitting / placement. The cushions are black.

I have a pair of back rest locking pins £10 posted.

Checked my bits and bolts collection, but none of these present. Buy the pins from t'other chap as they're the special parts. Nothing fancy about 8,9 and 10 - the bolts will be a metric thread and easy to buy off ebay. Washers as well. 12 is just a sheet of wood with some pipe grip thingies to clasp the seat legs.

Photos of bed to jcATharmonywood.org please.

The large bolts are 7/16 UNF thread, these are the same as seat belt mounting bolts, the smaller bolt is metric. The pins are still available new from vw classic.
