Seat

Post by bigiain » 09 Aug 2021, 18:58

Hello Just bought a used f rib 360 that only came with 1 seat. Can’t find any online so I’m going to make one by copying the one I’ve got.
Does anyone know where to get the plastic support brackets that slide onto the tube rail or what the proper name for them is?
Thanks Iain.

Hi Iain, Welcome aboard.
The F-Ribs are sold with two seats as standard, it’s a real shame they’ve not both been offered over to you at the time of sale.

You can probably find something similar on the well known auction site, I’d suggest they just call them sliding seat (guides) brackets

Martin :cheers

I cant be certain that these are the same as the ones in your dinghy but I found these almost impossible for find/buy in the UK. Hence this link to a very helpful German company https://bengar.de/en/schienenbefestigung.html look for » Boat Equipments » 2x supports for adjustable seats/bench/bank for inflatable boats incl. 8x screws if the link isnt working.
Its not a cheap option at £16 plus shipping for a pair. Maybe talking to the F-rib retailers in UK would be a better option for either the fittings or a spare full seat.

Thanks guys . I have gambled 12 quid on eBay “seat clip hooks”
If they turn out to be crap I’ll try the German version.
