johnw250 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 There seems to be a good choice of secondhand Berlingos but very few have the extra 2 seats to make a 7 seater. Is it possible to add an extra two seats from the Family Pack (or whatver) to the regular 5 seat multispace? (post 2008) FYI - I don't mind cutting into trim or carpets to expose whatever fixings I need to access... Thanks in advance... Quote
coastline taxis Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 yes you can. one chassis covers the whole range and 9 out of 10 times the fitting points are already there Quote
johnw250 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Well, that is very good news. Thanks for the quick response! Quote
johnw250 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Bad news - I just took a look at a few 2012 5 seat berlingos - VTRs and XTRs. I lifted the carpets - they were all the same - a plain corrugated panel without fixings for an additional row of back seats. My theory - the 7 seater is a factory option where they weld in an additional floor panel, complete with fixings. If that's true, I'm not going to be able to safely retrofit an extra 2 seats without a "bodge" that would be difficult to insure, or if I didn't declare it would invalidate my insurance. So it's a no go :( Quote
coastline taxis Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 on the corogated metal floor you should see some flat oval/circular plates that look like there siliconed in. the bolt holes should be underneath them. if not i can give you the specs for what you need to put the seats in. we do it all the time on the mini-buses and is quite easy to do and a £25 engineers report satisfy,s the insurance company Quote
johnw250 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 There aren't any holes in the corrugated floor on the 2012 berlingos I looked at, just the cargo tie-down hooks welded in each corner, so I would need to drill them. Can you send me the specs please? Thanks for helping.... Quote
paul.h Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 You could have a look at the parts diagrams to see what is different.
