Multivan seat in a Caravelle

Post by T3BUS »

Got the seat but not the 4 brackets or pins!
In the vain hope someone can help...
1. Does anyone have them available to sell or know where I can get some? (No joy at Brickwerks)
2. Can anyone give me the dimensions of the square bolt on spacer brackets I need? They look as if they could be fabricated fairly easily with the right size box section??
As I have a caravelle, I think I`m right in thinking that the fixings are already there...

Thanks

I have 3 extension brackets that bolt into the side of the van, do you have the brackets that get welded to the van that the backrest lock pins screw into ? If its a genuine factory window van the threaded fixing points for the extension brackets to screw into are there .

It is a genuine caravelle and the fixing points are there. Seat is being collected tomorrow night so I'll be able to offer it up and confirm then but will in all likelihood be very interested in acquiring your three brackets. Just need to find the pins then! Thanks for getting in touch and maybe you could pm me with further details.
Best regards Martyn

The brackets that are welded onto the side for the locking pins are also there. I`m guessing that needs to be removed and attached a little further forward? Measurements would be good but I guess it should be fairly clear when the seat is offered up??
Thanks again for the reply.

If you do a search for multivan bed and scroll down you will see my posts and photo of the van side bracket plus measurements.

you really need the multivan side panels , the beds are narrower than the caravelle ones , which have longer pins than the caaravelle seats .

It's a twin-slider.
