Quick update
Got the final set back Friday night so ended up fitting them at 10:30 a night ready for Big Bang Show on Saturday which all went well.
The few little changes we had done made a world of difference really look good now so hopefully we'll have the first few sets in a couple weeks.
I'm taking the hinges out again so they can use them as a template so i'll try and take some more pics!
Also they managed the combined weight of me and my brother on them Saturday night so they must be pretty strong lol.

I'll be there with the ones in mine for people to look at but there wont be any ready to buy by then I dont think as its only a week away now!
The plan is to have 10 sets made at the same time so that everyone will get them at the same time.
They will be powder coated to not sprayed black in a hurry 10 mins before fitting them like mine are lol.

Ok looked at the hinges again and to answer two questions
1. No you cant have the middle seat in position and fold the bed down apparently there were seperate hinges which moved the middle seat forward i've not seen these but if anyone has any picutres i'd be willing to make these to other wise we considered just making another set of the hinges without the arm to hold the back rest of the seat.
2. yes you can keep your seat belts in place no problem just have to thread them back through when you put the seats down and up again.
Hope this helps
getting finally costings on the sets today and we will start production on Tuesday so with any luck should have some sets in a couple weeks.

First sets will be £155 powdercoated thats the best i can do price wise.
Order submitted now so 2-3 weeks and they'll all be powder coated and out the door. Have to look into postage costs etc or i'll be at a fair few shows in the next few months if people want to meet me there.
Once they have gone off to be coated i'll be taking payments so we can get them straight out once there coated.

I don't think you'll have any trouble selling them Dave. I suspect there are a few fence sitters like me who just want to have a closer look at them first before taking the plunge. Good work on this, I admire your tenacity.

Well today I have turned my middle seat round ready for the Z Hinges, this is so I don't have to remove it to pull it out as a bed 
it is only bolted in buy the front bolts but seems strong.
