Case instead of rear seat

Has anybody replaced one of the outer rear seats with a case construction?
Need more space for e.g. Coleman stove, gas lanterns and other stuff
Think this would be a nice spot for a case... Engel fridge is supposed to be mounted on top of it..

Maybe with pics/measurments??? Rolling Eyes

Have taken the centre seat out to mount an Engel 45 before now ...the slidelock screws to an DIY alum plate which has holes drilled out for the bolts to use the seat bolt holes. Solid as a rock 8)

Don't see why you couldn't do the same with a side seat to mount a box. Thumbs Up

Perfect place for an engel.

Once the seat is removed (T50 torx?) use the resulting bolt holes to mount stuff.

Hi All !!

Just had an experience with the Removal of seat..
I had removed Row 3 Left seat to accomodate Radio Equipment
and Toolbox, which resulted in failed MOT... Crying or Very sad

If the Vehicle is registered for 7 seats, none of the seats should be removed.
Since the MOT also inspects function of Seatbelts, on all seats.. ( at least in Sweden they do )

If You want to remove a seat, You will need to " Retype / Change the Registration " of the Vehicle to a 6 seater...

My removal resulted i a very hasty refitment of th 7th seat to pass MOT.. And Double Inspection Cost.. Sad

The fun part of it all was that the Disco passed last year with seat removed..

So be sure that You are within MOT standards when doing the removal..

Regards
 Jan R.

Well - plan is to only temporarily remove that seat for my trip
to corsica in May so I believe MOT should not be the problem
but thx for that info
I've seen some drawer systems for the boot but yet no flight case style thingy
in that position
