Default On all the NZ based CMPs I've seen,

Those little brackets hold down the back of the seat frame which extends about one inch each side, and the wider bracket holds the front edge of the seat base, out of sight under the seat itself.

Could the window frame be from a HUP rear door?

Does the floor bracket behind the seat have a raised edge? Hard to see clearly in the image. I usually stow stuff behind the seat, but things can roll or slide while driving, so a shallow box would be a useful modification.

My C8AX has a raised angle frame fitted on top of the doghouse. Very useful to hold small bits and pieces on trips.

Rob

Default Here they are!

The pics show a rear hold down clip for the seat from the side,

and the front clip looking from the front of the seat.

Now these seat clips are on a Chev. Note the seat frame has angle end pieces front and rear.

I have seen another style of seat frame with folded channels front and rear, which may be Ford. Whichever style you have the clips will work on both.
