    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

    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.
