I was told that last year and took the van with seat to a fund raiser where we transported people in buses. My driver parked on a slight slant and when we opened the door that seat started to slide right out. I caught it in time but it could have been ugly as the disabled folks in the seat were sliding right out with it!

It was all good, in the end,but I would like to secure it before the next trip.

technically no, but i think they have the same diameter and thread pitch so i guess you could use them . typically the 2 person middle bench is secured by 13mm hexhead bolts. but realistically, your 2 person middle bench aint goin nowhere ..you dont even need to put the bolts in... think about it.. it cant slide left to right when in a westy as the cabinets and sliding door prevent it from sliding in the track In a message dated 9/28/2016 11:07:57 P.M.
