<< tyle installation requires brackets that fit into the battery box, under
 and on top of the floor, and of course, behind the fuel overflow tank.  The
 floor brackets fit together on opposite sides of the van floor.  I got all
 this info from carefully reproducing the exploded parts diagram in the
 dealer microfiche and examination of a Carat with the actual seats.  I can't
 see a way to do it (the right way) without dropping the tank, which is why
 my jump seat is still in the garage.  Soon :-)  I suggest that anyone who is
 trying to install the jump seat take a long look at the fiche to see ho >>

it aint that hard..  what you are talking about is overkill..  just drill and
bolt..  as far as the things on the floor, just cutting holes in the
carpet/corkboard will take care of that..
