Would there be any reason why the seat rails in the ute won't line up with the holes in the floor
the rails are about 100mm short of the holes
its a ute seat can't work it out any ideas
thanks greg

in width or length ? can you post a pic ????

Non standard seat, non standard floor?

These may help:
On the seat:

Rear mounting has 4 bolts. Outer bolts are 1210mm apart (centre to centre). Inner bolts are 1080mm apart (centre to centre).

The rear of the front mounting foot is 285mm in front of the rear mounting holes. The front of the front mounting foot is 365mm in front of the rear mounting holes.

On the floor:
Rear mounting holes are 210mm forward of cabin rear wall.

Front mounting holes are 350mm forward of rear mounting holes.

Dimensions are rough, but will give you an idea.

Harv

thanks harv
will go and recheck hole placements

the reason l asked the question was that the rails themselves were about 100mm short
l was thinking maybe the rails were from maybe fe fc but that have different connections at rear
will try and get some pics up

thanks greg

My rails have only 2 bolts at the front and back ???????????????

The seat should have two bolt holes on each of the two rear legs. You use 2x2=4 bolts to mount the two rear legs to the floorpan.

On the front seat legs, there are no bolts... just a "foot". The foot sits on the floor. There are two C-shaped brackets that go over the two feet. The two C-shaped brackets have 2 bolt holes each (i.e. you use another four bolts to mount the two front feet to the floorpan via the C-shaped brackets).

Forgive my crap sketching skills... not to be trusted with crayons or scissors.

thanks harv for the info seams to be same as fe fc

Hi Greg
As you say, FE to EK floor pans are identical in practice, as are the seat runner dimensions. Seems to me either non standard seat or been modified to fit another vehicle.

Your getting good with using CAD Harv

Did you end up working out what the problem was that was causing the misalignment (seat or floorpan)?

Looks like the seat is the right one , but someone has changed the seat runners at some stage.
have a couple here so will have a play around with them

thanks greg
