Apparently I welded in the right seat stop hole. There was about 20 holes drilled in the fender so didn't notice.

So I'm hoping someone will give me measurements for its location.

Not just to avoid measuring my own bus... But I'd just install the seat frame and see where it's paint-rubbed part of the black frame tube lands. Mark that spot, take a look underneath and drill through your weld.

I don't have a Bus to measure but is it in the same spot as the hole on the driver's side?

Original passenger side example pic I took a while but no measurements

Driver's side has a tiny plug

I may be a little OCD but I want exact. Also the welds have been smoothed and painted on the bottom also so can not tell where they were.

MidDEC62 single cab measures at:

82.5mm from the right edge of that panel.

261mm from the rear of that panel.

Those are both to center of the hole.

At least on our SC, the OG upholstery covers the tube there.

Great measurements- It's close to what I found on my double cab just now but got a flat 80mm (on center) to the side edge. I also came up with 7mm for the hole diameter if that sounds typical. My DC has it's original dogleg if it matters.

My camper bus' upholstery was worn through along the area of my stop (easy to see frame rub area)- but a lot of my stuff is way worn through Smile

Perfect! Thanks!

Looking at old photos I see there was some welding done at that spot.
