My name is Russell Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ok just trying to work out the passenger’s seat. This is more for a note to myself as I constantly go back to check up on stuff iv worked out through OS feedback in here. Was hoping to make the passenger’s seat fold forward to gain access to the rear seats, as the driver’s seat is solid mounted on sliders. 1st question is this legal – appears so “A low volume vehicle that has a permanent or fixed roof structure and more than one row of seats, must incorporate a ready means of entry and exit, by the most direct path practical 2.3 (9) ( c ) one or more seats within each row of seating other than the rear most seating row, that folds or tilts forward. “ 2nd question what’s required to latch the seat in place (the hard part) HINGE IDEA - For the hinge I was thinking of getting some tube that is the same OD of an escorts sway bar and clamping it with some escort sway bar clamps and those blue bushes you can get from super cheap. LATCH IDEA – still to come / suggestions? bit stuck for ideas on the latch. Ref; http://www.lvvta.org.nz/stdSeatAnchorage.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have some ideas for the seats boe. Can talk over with ya tonight if ya want? Can come round after work if ya want? Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nick and I spent last night looking at it and basicly came to the conclusion that there is 0 chance i can make them flip forward with the seats i have as they can't physicaly rotate up as they are to large and just hit the roof before there is enough space to get past them no matter how far forward or low you mount them. and also cant mount them low as it means they are to close to the door. (there is only luke 30mm between the seats and 20mm @ door ) So will just do them the same as the drivers and remove the rear seat, not like i ever have pasangers in my 4 door anyways / could convince one let alone 2 or 3 passangers to get in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 If you remove the rear seat it will give you one less thing to set on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 What if you make em so they slide all the way forward? Not just normal amount forward.. ALL the way.. I.e, hit the steering wheel? This kinda stuff you need to have pics etc and communicate with your cert guy. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Would be difficult to do in that you need the slider latch to be accessable from the rear seat and sliders i have at the mo are not near long enogh. will have a look at pick a part next time im there because would deff be next best option. I really dont think anyone will go in the back, as the seats are so big in the front you have no view out the front its like a little cage. Yes less flamable goods = good and for the record - Fire 1.0 oct 09 caught myselfs (overals) on fire Yay fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ke36 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 really want the drain coming right out of the bottom of the core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ok, cheers man, what will happen if its not? The thing im confused about is if it was rotated 90 degrees to be the same as on a standard RB it would not be coming right out of the bottom of the core either. Will take pic in a sec to show you what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
