<< I just purchased a jumpseat from the local junk yard that I'm going to

cylinder housings that the two front legs secure into. (Apparently I will
need to tear up a little bit of my floor and then weld these thingamjigs in
there.)  Does anybody have an extra set of these?  Or does anybody have an
alternative way to install the seats? </DIV>

Even with the copious amount of HTML codes in your email, I will answer you
anyway.

Buy them new from the VW dealer or get some 3/8 inch water pipe and have them
welded to flat plates which you can then rivet or weld to your van. Don't be
tempted to simply poke holes in the carpet. They are not adequate as bottom
anchors especially in the event of a collision.
