#638 of 1262 Re: Floor Brackets (KenBaker) [zweigsrdc] by kenbaker Jun 21, 2006 (10:44 am)
2004 2500 MWB HC Wagon, 10 seats, factory air Frt/Rear, tinted glass, Arctic White, converted to MB with parts from CMUGGLER on e-bay (recommended, it went well). All regular spaces in floor filled by factory. The one additional floor bracket added by the dealer so we could move the wide 3 seater forward one row and have 8 seats and LOTs of cargo area in the rear (or throw the 2-seater back into the back and get 10 people in for shorter trips. It was part of the deal of buying the 2004 (new) in Sept. 2005. Don't know cost... was just one bracket and the bolts to put it in. The dealer did not use the fancy - smancy torx-headed bolts, but they appear to be good quality. They used the new bracket/bolts in the end of the last row that will not usually be used anymore (this moved the torx bolts up to the newly (uncovered and) used slot in the floor. So... remove wide 3-seat row (4th row from front), 2 seat row (third row). 1) cut out rubber mat in dotted lines 2) remove plastic block from slot. 3) moved old bracket forward, put 3 seater in 3rd row, 2 seater in 4th row. 4) waited for new bracket to come in... 5) install new bracket in old slot in last row. All of the body-nuts are already there (on passenger van), not sure about cargo. Will write on email. KenB Replies to this message: bobselectric (Jun 21, 2006 2:05 pm)
