Ok, I will convert Smile

I've actually come across several "types" of inches, are the inches in your post like this: 1 inch = 25,4 mm ?

EDragnDean, I noticed you didn't cover the bottom or back of your seat like the originals are. You only covered the cushion. How come? How does the cushion attach to the wood?

Anybody know if these dimensions will work on a Bay? I have a '71.

Bay rear seats are approx 2 inches shorter. So all measurments should work, just remove 2 inches from the overall width.

Hi EDragnDean, can middle seats be installed once the RnR bed is fitted? Is the bed too long to include a middle seat or is shortening the width of the seat base a possibility to accommodate this? Room for small bums only though! Surprised

Thanks, and great post.

Getting there but some of the measurements on the original post screwed me up.

I think because I have the SO42 hinges and supports the bolt holes for the sides didn't work for me and the front at 17 inches was too high. The sliding supports need to be mounted in the corners so I notched about 4" down out of the front. I measured an OG 3/4 z bed and the base was only 12" tall in front and 11 1/2" tall on the sides.

BTW I'm using marine grade 3/4" plywood.
