Mounting 74 seats in a 70’

[dirtkeeper]

Any body know how this seat should attach?
I have a 70’ bus and these seats are from a later year .i purchased 74’ seat covers and they fit. The driver seat has rails that fits but after I got the cover on this passenger I realized it doesn’t seem to have any mounting point

Thanks

Check out page 10 of the owner's manual ...

It looks like one of the "hooks" to attach the bottom of the seat is missing from your bus. It should be where those two holes are to the left of the passenger seat location. You'll need find a replacement part, which shouldn't be hard to get.

If you got covers for a 74' bus, they will be 4' too long for a 70' bus.
