THE BRACKETS WORK WELL. WE HAVE FITTED 3 SETS SO FAR AND ARE VERY HAPPY.
WHAT I LIKE IS THE FACT THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR SOUND IN THE BASE AND WE CAN STORE STUFF UNDER THE SEAT. THE BRACKETS WILL ALSO SAVE YOU A FEW SA RANDS.

Thanks, sounds good, does buying brackets only mean manufacturing the frame or modifying existing seats?
I've never actually seen a complete rock 'n roll bed.....

IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN YOU'LL PAY AROUND R1500 FOR A SET OF BRACKETS AND ABOUT R4500 FOR THE REAL THING FROM AUTOSTYLE.
YOU'LL STILL HAVE TO BUY BOARD AND UPHOLSTER THEM BOTH.
I'VE DONE WITH PERMANENT UPHOLSTERY AND LOOSE CUSHIONS. I PREFER THE LOOSE CUSHIONS. YOU CAN REMOVE THEM AND LOAD UP THE BACK WITHOUT DAMAGING ANYTHING.
