proper application for the rear seats (6th & 7th)

We have the seats removed - they've been laying around useless for years. The idea was now to find a proper application for those seats:

This was the plan - using 80x100 mm timber to adapt the seats' attachment points. (wheelhouse "lower" base is at 180mm)

After a day of woodwork the seats could be mounted side-by-side. (just as close as possible to fold them up)

Now there is a 2 seated foldable couch in the workshop!

Very neat. Is it stable with just one person seated? Darren

Yes it is very stable for one 90kg person - so maybe even more.

Like it, very good. Do you have the lengths of each part if anyone wanted to make their own exactly the same?

Sure:

Keep an eye on the exact height oft this thing. (180mm) Otherwise the seats' locks wont like to catch the bottom brackets.

I would be happy to see a photo here if someone builds a similar rack.

Best regards,

I forgot: You would have to drill holes 60mm from the edge for the top hinges' M8 stud bolts - with bigger diameter from the bottom in order to be able to screw nuts with washers. (on the top (480mm) bar)
