Hiya Sparky,

We may have a semantics problem here.....................

Over on this side of the pond it is common to refer to a camper (like a Westy or Rivi) convertible bed as a Z-Bed. They are not. A Z-Bed is a hinge system designed by Z Products of Wilsonville, Oregon to convert a standard Transporter third seat into a bed. When this system is in place and the third seat is folded down (into the regular seating position) one cannot even tell that the system is in place. Really cool for Transporter owners and really hard to find in that Z Products no longer makes this product.

So...............are you looking for Z-Bed instructions or a set of instructions for a camper convertible bed?

Yep, the rear bench seat bed hinges I bought off of here. Got two angle type brackets with it, are these to support the seat back when it's down?
A pic or two would help.

Thanks Nigel, but can't see where the two brackets fit.

Do you have a picture of the two brackets?

I've got a Z bed in my bus you're welcome to look at, but I'm not sure it has the bits you refer to...

I'll post a pic of the brackets tomorrow.
