Fitting different seats
I've aquired a spare Holden Vectra seat, and have no reall use for it, but is there any way i could make it fit in a rocky? I cant imagine a company making adaptor rails for Vectra to Rocky... but is there like a 'universal' one you can get? ... if i wanted to try bootyfabbing something up, is there anything i need to know about the legality of it?

I have an approved (QLD blue plate) seat swap in my landie. The rules I was told by the engineer before I did mine were:
You are not allow to modify the seat to make it fit by cutting/welding.
If you are not using the factory mounts in the floor you need to place 75x75x3mm steel plates under the floor where the seat mounts are (each seat bolt must go through one of these plates).
Plates must have rounded corners so they don't cut into the floor and must use class 8.8 bolts (Grade 5) as a minimum.

NO, that is a common misconception. ISO Metric Class 8.8 bolts are equivalent to Imperial grade 5 (3 equidistant radial lines on head). ISO Metric Class 10.9 bolts are equivalent to Grade 8 Imperial (6 equidistant radial lines on head).cloughy wrote:Grade 8??? imperial equivelantISUZUROVER wrote: Plates must have rounded corners so they don't cut into the floor and must use class 8.8 bolts (Grade 5) as a minimum.

Rocky - unless the laws are different down south you would have to get it engineered. In QLD the blue plate system means you turn up, have the seats and mounts inspected and get the blue plate, pay $40, then drive away.

seats
I put WRX seats in my Hilux.
Ground and drilled the rails of the normal seats and welded and bolted (high tensile) them onto the new seats; painted it up so it looked nice, blue plated no problems
