We had left the seating brackets in the RTSII for a couple of reasons, one was fear that they were part of the support/strength of the walls and two, We thought the bus might need them for securing things. So We are now contemplating, attaching cabinets, kitchen appliances and such to the ceating brackets for a good secure hold to the bus. Has anyone done this or even thought about this or are we just going overboard? The brackets are strong as can be so they should offer incredible strength to the cabinetry. Quest | ||

Quest, I'm not sure if you are refering to the extruded aluminum seat mount or the channel it mounts to.Some have removed the channel to clean up the walls.I removed the aluminum extrusion but left the channel.It would be an excellent place to secure the cabinets.-Donn | ||

If you have saved the bolts that held down the seat pairs , you are all set. The goodies that held the overhead luggage racks can sometimes also be used as "Hard Points' to mount overhead goodies on coaches that luggage racks . IF you have removed the luggage racks, that is. FAST FRED | ||

By all means use them, and yes you're correct, the rails are structural members. I used mine in several places. There was a lot of discussion on the 'Board as to whether they were structural or not, but a gent by the name of Barnett,(retired GMC engineer) settled it for all involved.HTH, ands Cheers...JJ | ||

JJ, I am having trouble researching this subject on this BB. I can only pull up one page of posts in the keyword search. Can you point out the specific post. I'm at this same stage and would like to study these posts. Thanks Merlin | ||

The posts involved were when I was converting my 4905, and that would have been in the spring/ summer of '99. This may have been before the 'Board was archived in it's current state. You might ask The Bossnut when that occured. I frequently click "print" on interesting items as they appear, so it may be in a folder. If I can find it, I'll post it soon. Pretty busy right now with getting ready for the sojourn to FL for the winter. Cheers...JJ | ||

Hi folks, Did I hear my name? :-) The search function of this bbs looks for everything you type into the "search for" field then looks for each word, then some of the word within other words: Searching for "luggage racks", for example, will search first for "luggage racks" then "luggage" then "racks" then anything containing these words, suh as "cracks", "tracks", etc. With 11,222 messages to search through, you'll have your hands full with words you can use in the "search for" field. Another feature of this bbs that you can take advantage of, is searching for the author of a message such as the one JJ provided. Entering "Barnett" into the "search for" field and using the drop down menu in the "look in" field selected to "names of authors" returns all messages by J.C. Barnett. Click any of the messages to view the page they are on, then click on the author's name above his message. If the author provided his e-mail address when he posted the message, a new pre-addressed mail message will appear. Mr. Barnett did so in his messages, so you can e-mail him directly! Now that you are empowered with this information, please promise that if you write to him and he gives you the info you need, that you'll come back to this thread and share his answer.
