My van engine bay is built up due to an engine conversion. Mint engine but it means i cant have a conventional rock and roll bed. Im planning on making my own home-made rock and roll bed out of wood, but not using the proper hinges. Are home-made beds/benches legal as long as they are safe and the seatbelts anchored to the chassis?
Cheers phil

how high is the back??? I have a blue bird rock and roll bed and that ends up higher than the back when in bed mode, I have to build the back up to make it all level

about 7 inches? how much did you have to build up your mate?

don't think its that much but not that far off!, I'll measure it for you tomorrow, one easy way tho if it is higher at the back is to use thinner foam on the back part?

thats a good idea mate...cheers for that

The hight of the back bit of the bed is 4.5 inch f that helps ?

Thanks matey for your help

I built up the box over the engine to 5" , mounted the RR hinges a bit higher and as I was making the interior then made rear seat/box to suit, all works well
