..... They are uncomfortable, and have no adjustment....

And if you are over 6 foot tall then you will end up with skinned knees from them hitting the glove box

I agree T45LV10 no one probably would but if say you were in an accident then those people in the extra seat will not be covered by third party compulsory insurance and if hurt will have the right to sue the owner for whatever the courts see fit plus some serious fines as well . Reclassifying the seating capacity is something that should be taken seriously .

Check with your insurer if they will cover it or not. Every one makes it out to be such a big deal etc, don't get me wrong safety is important, but the Fitment is a doddle weather the holes are there or not, just use high tensile bolts and plate the underside.

The Pink slips here are a joke any way, not much of a safety check.

Ah now I see you are back in the old blighty , things may be different there , but here in Aus if the van is built and sold as say a two seater that's all the insurer will put on the paper work so in an accident it would be your responsibility to pay any injury costs to the person in the non certified seat and that could in theory run into millions . Yes bolting is a doddle because if you pick up original bolting points and use the correct bolts that's fine and as you say use correct plates under the floor as an alternative is also fine BUT you still need here in Aus an Engineers certificate . Trust me on this one as I used to hold an Authorised Officers Certification for fitting extra seat seat belts and child restraints etc . As long as we followed the appropriate Australian Design Rules then we could certify modifications ourselves in our State , if the van's seating was used for public use or the seating exceeded a certain number ie a mini bus then it all had to be done in conjunction with an Engineer , as the vans original compliance had to be changed from commercial use to private use . This would mean an engineer would have to do calculations based on tyres /windows /child restraints and in some cases emergency exits .
