I did once this project. The whole interior had to be exchanged. And that
table bracket was quite a job to install. Then the removable seats' anchors
had to be welded in. And the floor's thick insutlation to make it the same
level. Drilling holes and weld nuts behind the removable seats.
The rear seats have to come from the donor too. The table lock almost never
works. You can use a magnet that Mr. Condelli sells. Keep the vinyl
covering on the body intact.
