[QUOTE="TWILKIN650, post: 40038, member: 27"] Tom of VA, that's a plastic pin similar to what is used to locate the stock rear seat. I'm thinking of simply finding the correct bolt OD to fit the two stock rear seat locating holes, running it down through the tab protruding from the Smuggler, backing up with a nut, cinching it down. Trial fit the length of the bolt (should be same seating depth as the stock rear seat pins) cutting off excess, deburring, fitting with shrink tubing, and be done with it. As an alternate, I might be able to find the right sized captive panel nut to slide over the back of the cross brace and then thread a cut down bolt through it to tighten. It would have to be pretty big, but this would allow you to pull off the captive panel nut and then use the stock rear seat pretty quickly. Home Depot has a small selection of these nuts but I might be able to find a local fastener supplier that has just the right size. That would be as secure as the Corbin bolt downs. [/QUOTE]
