Hi Mark and others,

Are the bolts used to hold the seat the same ones that hold the covers on the rails?

When I have the seat on the rails it must be all the way to the cabinets to have the door close. The holes don’t line up when it is there.

I’ll check this out to see if I can figure out how to adjust things to fit, but I want the track protectors to still fit as well.

This is for my double seat as sadly i have still not located a single seat for that amazing base I have here!

Inside of the seat base there are bolt holes in the base bottom. The installer slides the seat until the holes in the seat base bottom line up with the threaded holes in the tracks. The bolts needed are M8 x 1.25, about 15mm long.

The threaded holes in the tracks are provided by brackets that are installed with the tracks. Vans with stock floor tracks have these in certain positions but the brackets can be moved to allow additional choices of seat position along the track.
