 Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:33 am Post subject: Early Westfalia Jump Seat Anchor Bolt Dimensions |
 |
|
Hello all,
Since my bus is in storage for a while, I'm mocking up ideas for some empty space in my interior. I don't have a jump seat, but I do have the 4 bolt anchors and I'd like to use them for something. Does anyone know (or can measure?) the dimensions of the 4 bolts/holes? I've searched around and found a lot of great info, but as far as I can tell this info isn't on here explicitly…
(I'm eventually planning a removable modular system where I can swap out a seat/icebox/bike rack depending on what kind of trip I'm going on.)
Thanks a bunch!
Robbie

The 4 bolt holes in the jump seat frame, or on the floor?

The distance between the bolt holes, sorry for being vague… I have the bolts, but I need to know how to space them on a potential cabinet underside. Thanks!

Still vague. From the inside edge of the side wall to each hole or the distance from the panel behind the front seat to each hole?
Relate it to this.

Neither 
The 20mm screws go in to the floor, and I need the distances between the mounting holes... So I need measurements of the floor of the bus, not the seat itself.

I understand that! BTW, the jumpseat does correlate to the holes in the floor of the bus. Where do you want the measurement taken, from side to side or front to back or both? I am trying to get a perspective of what you want, as you are not being descriptive.
I am trying to help you out, but I can't if you cannot describe what measurement you want exactly.
Measurement of the floor of the bus? Distance between the mounting holes? From which side or? If you don't have them already, and you are building your own jump seat box, cabinet, etc, you can put them wherever it pleases you.
Last time I respond if you cannot explain what you want, exactly!

The distance between the bolts shown by two arrows, and the distance from those bolts to the two bolts that are hidden in the picture.

19" from drivers to passenger side.
181/2" from front to back on the passenger side of the floor.
16 3/4" from front to back on the drivers side of the floor.
The two at the rear are not opposite each other.
Understand?

Whew, glad I made it 
Those are exactly what I need, thank you so much! I'll add pics to my build thread when I'm done. Please let me know if you're ever in Phoenix and thirsty

Phoenix, I would rather be in Philadelphia.... Thanks for the offer, but I avoid PHX like the plague. Too damn hot for me all year round.
I thought you were an Angeleno, from my hometown?

I move back and forth. Just finished college in Phoenix, lived with my folks while job hunting, but just started working in Phx… Too hot for me too… can't say I'll be staying forever…
