Apparently they're just supposed to be self tapping screws, so I should be fine on that. My last conversion I installed the single giant wooden floor piece below the entire kitchen/floor. This is very inconvenient as it means removing the ENTIRE interior from both busses before any reassembly can begin. Is this necessary? I'm hearing now that it may be possible to do without this piece?

I don't want to install the riser/nuts that were welded in at the factory. Has anyone had success with just putting long bolts/nuts through instead? The ones I speak of hold the seat down and the kitchen unit.

Thanks!
