unwin rails are perfect if you're struggling to situate your rear travel seats. they allow more freedom and movement where standard fitted seats cannot accommodate

Cheers bud 👍. Yes absolutely, I'd sooner be OCD and over the top when it comes to safety and not take any chances

What seats are these? Are the unwin rails safe and crash tested? How high are the seats from the floor? We were going to build up this area so that the swivels in the front so that feet rest on the build up but the unwin rails need to go on the base of the van?

Hi. I'm guessing the seats are just welfare van rear seats, but These are different to my previous 2 vans in which I used seats from welfare vans. Yes the unwin rails are perfectly safe provided they are fitted correctly. It's the same as what they use in mini buses etc. You can get unwin rails much cheaper that have been taken out of old vans. My rear seats are quite low in this van as I didn't take into consideration the height difference. Both previous vans had a higher floor so were pretty level with the front seats. You can make the seats higher by adding a base plate which makes them higher so when you have front swivel seats, all are the same height. To raise the seats higher, you need to make sure it's a solid metal base fully secure to the van floor. You wouldn't for example be able to add on top of wooden batons to give extra height. Hope your van build is going well. Regards Dan

Hello mate, can any seat fit on the unwin rails? Looking at some Citroen berlingo rear seats that I want to put in my Peugeot boxer. Thanks

Hey. There's a variety of different types of locking clamps to secure seats to unwin rails. The ones I used had various fixing point patterns on them to be able to bolt the legs to.

Can you share details of the materials used? The locking clamps
