No. Not a genuine seat anyway. You can put a triple there or two 2nd row singles
They were only placed in for the picture. They are now all fitted, with the factory reinforcing plates and the floor reinstalled. Pictures to follow

Super, look forward to seeing the final product
Thank you.
Regarding the brackets, Did you need to use 4 x left small and 4 x right small brackets for the left and right most outer legs on both sides of the van, and then 4 x large double brackets for the inner most legs in centre of the van? Appreciate your help.

We use the correct VW reinforcements plates.
I like it! I thought I’d seen all possible seat configurations but this was a new one on me. I was all set to put the 3-seat bench in the back but this is giving me pause. How did you find the right and left singles? Just eBay?

Hi Minemapper, yep, just off ebay, there are a few camper and mobility conversion companies who get new vans in for conversion with the three singles in as standard. It's just the middle one you need two of as the outer two don't have integrated seatbelts and the feet are closer together. Cost me about 850 for two with all brackets and mounts, cost more than a triple but much better option in my opinion.

Just found this thread, and it's exactly what I've been been looking for, I currently have a 2+1 set up directly behind front seats but have been wanting to gain some extra space without loosing all storage to rear, this looks like a perfect solution and after watching your you tube vid it's something I'm pretty confident to take on myself. Can I ask which exact seats you used? And where you sourced the QR brackets from. Again great vid excellent to see this kind of initiative.
YES.
Finally finished this last night after spending what feels like forever assembling all the various parts required. Slightly nerve-wracking when it came time to start drilling holes in my expensive van, but I just took my time and measured everything 15 times. The longest part, as always, was the initial dismantling of the underneath stuff. Dropping the fuel tank and exhaust was the worst part. Putting it all back together was a doddle at the end, and crucially, no leftover screws or bolts (if you knew my history on this, you would understand the significance )
First test fit. Clicked in perfectly. Phew.
Cutting these holes at 9:30 on a cold driveway was brilliant fun. Not.
As you've realised by now, I cancelled the idea of double 3rd row seats, sticking with my original plan of moving the 3 seat bench backwards instead. The 3 singles in the middle row will probably be 2 normally, with the middle one kept in storage for times when we really need 8 seats.
