Hello Sprinter community I have a few questions and would like some suggestions please.
2005 T1N sprinter -
Im installing a stock bench 3 seat. There are 2 pre cut holes that lines up exactly with the brackets. My first question is I want clarification on the direction of the brackets. Down is the facing front direction in this photo. With the long and short cross bar facing forward.
Down is the facing front direction in this photo. With the long and short cross bar facing forward.
Here is the bottoms. The right is steeper, and left side longer and shallower. Which faces forward towards driver?
The floor has 2 starter holes. So I should be able to align it just right. But no screw bolts.
My second question is does anybody suggest welding a bolt in place? Or how many think it’s fine to drill through the box frame and secure with strong bolt and lock nut with steel support pad.
I have no welding skill, and with the quarantine I’m not sure how to get that welded. My only concern is safety of eventual long term use.Suggestions?
I pulled up the old flooring down to the metal, prepped for rust and fiberglassed holes and spray painted.
It has a black mercedes mat I’ll reuse. The wood is good and already cut to size.
does anybody suggest filling between the ribs with reflectix strips or if that even worth it?
Questions recap,
Please clarify the direction of the seat brackets?
Bolt through frame or weld in place screws?
Insulate between ribs or waist of time.
Any help of advice or point me in the right direction is helpful.
