    After my 2 position middle seat was stolen, I replaced it with a 3
    position seat.  It uses all the same mounting positions as the 2
    position seat and has another support that is bolted down the same way
    as the others.  My bus had the holes for the mounting thingies under the
    rubber mat.

    BTW, this is a '75 and I guess it's a 8 passenger walk-through...
