	Now the holes have been drilled we are ready to bolt the seats. How are we going to bolt them you ask? Well what you do is slide M8 nuts into the existing van runners and line them up with the holes you ahve drilled. They need to go in from the back as the slot at the front is narrower.

	IMPORTANT NOTE: The Drivers seat is tricky as the runners are not bolted on but held on with spiggots for the seat height adjustment workings. With the seat height adjustment the seat is too high for driving the T25 so you will need an angle grinder to get the seat runners off and remove the seat height adjustment lever and workings. Then space and rebolt the runners to the same holes as on the passenger seat.

	Hi I put some ~~rover~~ 216 seats in my last T25, they unbolt quite easily from the ~~rover~~. To put them in the van I had to drill through the runners and the bodywork. On the side nearest the door its easy just bolt through the runners and tighten the nuts from under the wheelarch.To get to the other side under the seat it is a bit more tricky drill through the runners the same but it takes a bit of patience to get the nuts on and tightened. When they were in being that the new runners were on top of the old VW ones it gave you extra height, unless you are over 6 feet tall you still have plenty of head room. The seats were very comfortable and a lot kinder to your back. Good luck, bluebus		==Rover seats==
