back seat

[ratty_ratty]

i have a problem with my back seat\'s
 
right the backing for the back seat was flapping about the other day so i had a look
 
i found that the bar for the catch to catch onto was taken off
 
so i thought ill fit it back on
 
but i can not figur out where the two bars go as there are no bolt holes on the turret where i think there ment to go
 
can some one please put some pictures up of the fitting please so i can see what i am missing
 
thanks for your time people

any helpers??

Have you taken the cover off? There should be a covered bit on the side of the rear suspension turret where the cover can come off and the clip can bolt onto the turret.

HTH,
Mark

[ratty_ratty]

but the thing is there is not any bolt holes on the turret
 
how do i post pictures??
 
i will get pictures to show what i mean

[RemarkLima]

OK, is you\'re an R2 model that didn\'t come with back seats?

Mine was the same and I had to drill and tap 2 holes each side for the brackets to mount to.

It should have if it\'s an R2 inside the door.

is this the car i fitted the rear seats to as rotor stock? if so the brackets were supplied to the owner and he was told to drill/tap holes as there wasn\'t any fixings.

hmmm.. right ok
 
how els can i tell if it is a type r2??
 
and what diffrence is it being a type r2??
 
thanks for your time

R2\'s had the nicer seats, not cloth / suede, kinda a mottled material. Then the beizels around the gauges (speedo / techo etc) are a gloss black rather than silver, also had rear bins instead of seats.

I htink thats about it TBH.

[ratty_ratty]

lol  sorry to be a pain
 
any other ways of telling??
 
cause the back seats are in but as i said no brackets for backing
 
the speedo souround has been changed to the carbon souround or is the black or chrome finish on the inside??
 
front seats i never took any notice will have a look in a bit lol
 
thanks for your time

[RemarkLima]

Sorry, on the clocks I mean the little lip before the cowling becomes the gauge / glass IYSWIM, on earlier cars I think it\'s chrome, on the R2\'s it\'s black.

In the picture you can see the black beizels, they\'re shiney so look like metal in parts but are all black plastic.

Also you can see the seats, they\'re mottled type.

Not too sure if there\'s anything else, most things are the same as the R model, not sure if it\'s on the VIN plate in the engine bay. But TBH if you\'ve not got the holes for the brackets then it probably is.

What year is the car? I also think R2\'s were 94 onwards or something around that.

[ratty_ratty]

so in that picture that is the standard seats in the type r2?
 
will look at the seats not lol
 
get a supprise every time i look at the car

[RemarkLima]

Yeah, the standard seats of an R2 are like that... I think they\'re nicer (of course I would!)

Just remembered another thing, the R2 came from the factory without a rear wiper or any buttons for this so another way to tell (except that they can be removed!)

This help at all?

ps can I have your covers if you dont need them?

[ratty_ratty]

that is so "G*Y" cause i do not have that bolt hole for the brack to go on its flush all round the susspension turret.
 
might as well rip the seats out mighten i lol
 
ah well.
 
 
any idea where i can get the storage bins from then if i was to remove the seats??
 
thanks for your time
 
oh and i do have the covers but i might keep them incase i do decide to drill and tap the turret to have the seats secured

[Spartacus]

It\'s an easy job to mount the brackets, it\'s not as if there will be a lot of pressure on them as they only stop the back of the seat falling forwards (still trying for the covers here:evillaugh)
Bins would be around £250 up if you can find some.
