third seat needed 200

I'd like to put a third seat in my wagon. Are there pieces of hardware that I need to make sure are included with the seat that I buy? Also, does anyone have one? I looked on ebay but there are none for sale right now. Thanks.

    I have a tan one, complete with all the pieces and seat belts, in really good shape. Installing it (or uninstalling it) was a piece of cake. 6 or 8 screws and it came right out. I'm in New Orleans, so shipping probably wouldn't be real cheap depending on where you are if you wanted it. I would be happy to send pictures if interested.

    I've got one as well (black). I have the seatbelts and all the mounting hardware. I'm missing one piece, the latch that pokes up through the floor and the support underneath it. I was out at the wrecking yard a few weeks ago and think I spied one though. If somebody wants this thing, I might be able to get the last piece it needs to be complete.

    I have one, not in very good shape, though, and in Oregon. It doesn't have seat belts, either. Probably not too hard to add, but if you can get the whole setup somewhere close, that would probably be best. Let me know off line if you get desparate!

      In addition to the seat itself, it should include seat belts, bolts to secure the seat belts to the wheelwell and reinforcers (round sort of half-moon looking thingamagigs the seat belt bolts will bolt into and which fit inside the wheelwell just behind the top of the tire), bolts to secure the seatbelts to the top of the car (the hole for the bolt is under the headliner), a foot or so long angle iron that will fit under the seat and, if my memory serves me correctly, under the car, which several bolts will bolt into to hold the seat down, a latch, a couple of brackets that bolt onto the rear seat, and a few other pieces that someone else can perhaps recall. If you don't get these reinforcing items, the seat will not be safe in the event of an accident. Make sure the seller sends you these as they are pretty hard to find otherwise. Also, get a set of instructions. There may be some drilling involved as well. It took me the better part of a day to install mine, but now I love it. Also, I also found a handle that fits on the headliner just in front of the tailgate for the kids to grab on their way out. You might try to get this too. If you feel under the headliner near the light you'll find the holds for the screws that hold this handle.
