Safety and Guidance

Ensure that the proper personal safety equipment is used.
It is recommended that a pilot hole is drilled first to ensure correct position and adequate clearance is provided from fixtures such as wiring looms and fuel lines etc.
Clean vehicle of any sworf to prevent damage to the floor coverings
Seek assistance if needed for manual handling of seats.
Where mounting holes pass through hollow sections a suitable crush
tube/spacer must be fitted to prevent crushing of the section. It is preferred that is tube/spacer is welded. However, a removable insert is acceptable if the bolt will not pull through under crash loads and a tube/spacer is used in each bolt.
Seating legs and side wall mountings must not exceed 860mm spacing. If this cannot be avoided then additional seat channel clamps must be fitted.

Fitting Instructions
