Re: Re: LHD front seat fixings
Hi,
The solution was quite simple, actually. The RHD angle bracket can be used on the LHD vehicle by positioning it exactly as it would be originally, just slid over to the right edge of the car. The first bolt hole in the angle bracket is aligned with the second hole from the RH door of the original station wagon seating. This offsets the first seat hinge 11.5cm from the B-post, exactly as it is in the RHD configuration. The driver’s seat has to rest on top of the passenger seat angle bracket and the tab holding the driver’s seat down to the seatbox can be mounted in exactly its usual orientation, with its big hole aligned with the last bolt on the angle bracket. I drilled the angle bracket for the smaller hole in the tab and put in a fresh 5mm screw. The driver’s seat is level because its other keeper tab is also mounted on an angle bracket.
Switching the driver’s seat release lever from the right to the left side of the seat was easy. Re-fitting the underseat toolboxes and their covers has been difficult because the angle iron interferes.
