Re: Adopting a Suburban Carryall, The Seahorse

I was investigating an issue I was having the the seats today. The floor has the cleat arrangement to be able to put the 2-person seat in the middle or the rear position. So I put the 3-person seat in the middle and stuck the 2-person seat in the back. I had pull the seat bottoms out to make the seats easier to maneuver. When I tried to fit the 2-person seat bottom back into the frame, in the rear position, I found that the left front corner was hitting the back of the inner fender and so I wouldn't fit down. I compared the seat bottom frames from the 3-person and the 2-person seats and found that the 3-person seat had tapered frame edges, whereas all the other seats are square. Looks like I'll have to cut and modify the seat bottom to fit. Seems kind of dumb for the seat to physically bolt in back there but then the seat bottom can't be installed...
