    Amazing the engineering certification costs so much compared to the relatively simple job. Good money to fill out a couple of forms! The authorities probably take a large slice for fees.

    Good outcome though. It's amazing that a vehicle the size of the Patrol has so little space in the driving cab.

    If it was me Id put the brackets in and leave it at that. TBH I dont think
    they will ever be checked ever, use zinc rated bolts with spring washer or nylock nut
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    Old thread, but I have same problem and don’t really want to pay $1,000 for seat mods. Must be something on market by now.

    There are approved seat mount brackets for Patrols avail right now - name escapes me, however its the tick and flick certification document - its the process. In isolation its a piss off. If its done as part of a larger engineering certification it will be done as a bundle. I am sure the greater majority would buy the seat mount and install it thinking thats the end of it.
