Martin has very kindly sold me a folding front seat/bed.

I saw one in a photo that someone posted and thought it would help out our new increased sized family (twin girls arrived on 1st March).

A friend delivered the seat to Glasgow last night and I would like to get it fitted soon so that it can upholstered and used.

Does anyone have such a conversion in their van? If so can you post photos of the various brackets that attach it to the van. One or two are missing and I can make them, if I know what they look like.
 
Firstly congrats on the new arrivals!
The front seat beds are what we want to do in our van, when you get it sorted can you get some pics up so i can get some ideas please? Also, martin have you got any more bed-seats?

regards, scott.
 
Hi Ruairidh, if it's an Autosleeper front bench then I can help.

The bench lifts and pushes forward

The seat runners have slots in them where the seat base frame locates, rear slot for seating position, front slot bed down position.

The runner is made from 1" angle iron and sits on a wooden wedge to level it up. It's 10 1/2" long, the centre of the rear slot is 1" fron the end of the bracket and the two slots have 9" centres. Hope this helps.

Thanks Panky, very helpful.

Mine is different but works in the same way, I am happy I could make it work from what you've posted, cheers!
