Dude.....great solution. have the same seats and also didnt want to go down the Rock and Roll route, Very clever solution. thanks for the concept. Will give it a try
@@LarcsWorkshop managed to get it done in a couple days using ply. ..the fold out board is not as clean as yours but does the job. Think I'll plagiarise further and go aluminium as well at some point
I have been searching endlessly for a back seat like the one I have in my van to figure out how to lay down the seats for a bed! I love what you did and will be making a video on how to duplicate what you did!
hmmm... bought a syncro without a rear seat, but there is a frame and it looks like it might be a folding bed, hmmmm I like this idea here, keep the stock rear seat and it might even be better to be higher up in the vanagon...
Ooo I'd love a syncro😍. I find the original rear seats really comfortable, my daughter and her friends agree. Being a bit higher up allows for a little more storage too👍. Good luck. Cheers Larcs 😃
@@grahamlewisdiy3897 Yes, I've got a couple of straps that hold it rolled up and store it in polythene bags. I'll look out for the videos 👍. Cheers Larcs.

Thanks, good luck sorting it out 🤞.

Hi, clever solution. how did you attached the lower aluminum sheet to the seat, and which screws/bolts did you used ?
Wow, this was a long time ago. IIRC I drilled and tapped the seatback metal frame and fixed the ali sheet to it with 6mm countersunk screws.
Perfect idea thanks for sharing!
No problem🙂.
Cheers Larcs 👍
Мужик ты молодец! Самый простой вариант раскладки дивана.
👍
nice idea ,,only draw back being is you need some ventilation holes in your ally sheet
Thanks for your comment, I'm not sure why I would need ventilation holes in the ally sheet?
@@LarcsWorkshop the reason being is because the body perspires whilst sleeping ,hence the bedding would become damp causing many problems
@@eddielloyd4070 Thanks, I'll have to sort that out 👍
Did you have a video of the build?
@@heeler188 Sorry no, it was before I started doing TH-cam.

Nice job 👍🏻 I’m looking to do similar on my T5.
That's great, keep us all informed on how you get on. You going to do a video on it?
Cheers, Larcs.
@@LarcsWorkshop Yes, I'm documenting it all on my channel. What do you do with the mattress, roll it and tie it?
