I've got no runners on my passenger seat wheel arch. Plus the seat looks a later version with the seat cover. Can you tell me what year it is and whats missing to hold it down ?





 
It's hard to see if you have both of the brackets for the seat, but you've certainly got one. It's been folded over, near your seatbelt mounting bolt.

There should be a second on the inside edge. :) The rear rail across the back of the seat clips into it when you lift the front of the seat upwards.
 
What happens at the front edge, is there anything securing it ? There seems to be quite a few holes there for somthing.
 
I can see now what happens to seat and how it pivots but is there must be something missing form bottom of the seat.

the driver side is the only seat to adjust the pass seat has 2 positions witch is controlled by the seat clip on the floor try and find someone close to you and look at there seat 8)
 
I've a couple of those brackets sitting in my desk at work- if you send me your address I'll post em out to ya.

Your a star ;) don't suppose you know if anything goes at the front part of the seat base. Or does it just rub metal to metal ?

On my old bus it was rot and a bird's nest, but I don't think that was as per the original design. I'll post out the brackets at lunch, I've gotta pop to the post office anyway.

It could be just the thing, this is my first bay so if there's nothing there to go by I'm a bit lost :lol: poor old passenger doesn't get much adjustment with these seats :)
