Probably doesn't need to be engineered. The seat belts are in standard seat belt mountings and, if I remember right, the Perenties are complianced for three seats.

Thanks oowa, mate that should do the trick, in my last life the F88 Styer mounts were a godsend not required anymore but a third seat is. Thanks for the photo.

No I didn't , my thoughts are that if I ever get it engineered for towing anything greater than 1200kg I'd get it done then..


Cheers

The seatbelt mounts are pre-existing but I seem to recall some discussion over the fact that they are a shared anchor, ie, 1 anchor/ 2 belts and therefor unacceptable.
The 4x4 soft tops are all complianced for 2 only, most 6x6 are 3 seaters except for late Bushmaster builds. The only variation (of course) are the SC and Carryall wagons.

Thanks for the clarification. Mine (a 6x6) is complianced for three.

I looked at this for my Perentie as I have 2x spare standard 110 County middle seats & the reason they don't fit is that the Isri seats are shifted inboard approx. 20mm. In my Perentie, the original bolt holes are unplugged. The fact is - in Vic at least- Vicroads won't allow registration for 3 seats unless they are engineered. I spent about an hour on the phone with them & went right to the engineering top of the tree. The guy there said if they are original seats & anchor points, it should be a cheap certificate, so I always have that option. I kind of like the seats moved inboard a bit. It is noticeable from my County, I wouldn't consider doing it on the sly, if I had an accident it could cost me $$$ & perhaps jail time.

Made it myself and had an upholster mate cover it.
