FJ40 rear seat

I made up a steel SHS subframe that bolted to the factory seat mounts in mine. The engineer said that if you wanted to weld plates in they had to be 100x100 (from memory so don't take it as gospel).
I used a Suzuki Vitara seat that had the belts and buckles mounted to the actual seat unit. Fitted snugly between the wheel arches. I've heard you can use Sierra rear seats also.
Speak to an engineer first though. They can tell you what's legal and what isn't. It shouldn't be that expensive to certify either.
