Have a look for a passenger seat from a 78 r/v, or Bundera etc to get the right runners, and dont forget to get the seat belt latch, as yours at the moment is flex belt going through the middle of the seat.

Dave,

I am with the ambulance Service in Melboure, and we had 9 Troopys converted to ambulances, and they all had Brackets engineered to fir a normal seat to the passenger side.

I had done the same for mine when I brought my Paratus Drivers seat, the Spare wheel gets the old drivers seat reupholstered (in cloth no less), but doesnt (yet) get to $1000 paratus seat.

THe bracket gives a slight lift to the front of the seat and offsets the seat slightly to the left of the vehicle, otherwise it sits towards the middle

And as far as I could find, there is no Captive nut in the right location.

PS those nine trucks are being retired and sold at auction in the next few months, none have more than 60000kms, and are 7 yrs old, all petrol, snorkel, twin tanks, Rancho air adjustable shocks, winch and full service history, dunno what they'll go for, but if ya wanted a pertol troopy, they'd be a good buy for their age. THey almost never get driven lights and sirens, and not off road often

I installed an aftermarket seat from 4WD Systems in my troopy and also purchased the adapter bracket. I found that there are a number of captive nuts hidden by the floor plastic, both in front of the rib that runs across the seat area and behind. The adaptor bracket allowed me to remove the lap belt anchor and re-use that nut for a seat ancxhor, and then relocated the buckle of the lap/sash to another point.

The adaptoer bracket has a number of holes in the tracks and ight work for a transplanted drivers seat as well eh!

I found them by running my finger over the plastic and noting the indents - not very scientific, but it worked.Chris
<- 1996 Troopy, the best!
