Subject:Westy Interior Swap- Rear Seat bolts without welding?
From:craig cowan

Hello gang!
I have a 1980 westfalia interior in my 1985 sunroof bus that I am planning
to soon move to my 1987 sunroof syncro. In the sunroof bus, I had all the
little riser nuts meticulously cut out and welded into the floor. I hope to
not do that on the syncro though (I don't really want to weld on this
bus....).
What's the trick? I remember hearing of someone using long bolts with a nut
on the other side. What about for the rear of the rear seat? These bolts are
precariously positioned for installation in a syncro. One bolt comes out in
the wheel well, but the other would be inaccessibly over the gas tank.

I'm just trying to plan ahead and  think this out to make everything go
simply. What have people done?
