I am in the process of looking into having a local foundry cast up some of the pegs that fit into the bottom of a civilian rear seat allowing it to clip into the catches under the bed.

Would there be interest (buyers) here should I be able to produce these for a reasonable cost? I am sure that a bulk order would effect the price.

This is something that just does not seam to be available unless you buy a repop seat frame.

I'd be interested in buying some! Surprising that someone or some company doesn't already sell. John

Sounds like there is some interest. I will update this thread as the project progresses.

IMHO it would most likely be cheaper to have them CNC machined from stock, just say'in.

Mine were 3/4s there, bottom point was ground off. I welded material back on and reground to the "correct shape" and they now seem to work pretty well - at least they snap into the floor retainer and hold. So if you have any piece of it - you can always rebuild it.
