Hi, did you get the yoyo in the end?
Rib bed in the front?

Hi Evan, no not yet. We are saving for that as the next phase of our conversion. We have been into Clearcut Conversions and looked at the seat and rail. It looks great. It's definitely the way we will go. It is not as high as the Rib beds so there would be no need to hunch or slouch when seated on it.

Thanks for the feedback, trying to find out from others if it's a rattler, not too concerned about a rail, can't find anything on youtube on operation, did you try it out for operation and comfort?
Yes. It functioned well and was comfortable to sit on. I took some photos whilst at Clearcut. I’ll try to add them here if that helps.
The rail allows the seat to travel in any one of the 5 lock off positions in a SWB or 6 in the LWB. That I’m told is unusual for this type of bed seat, many are limited to one approved travel position - that being right at there back.

Interesting Dave, clearly the rail is important as the base sits so far forward, with rail it is actually about the same price as a rib with slide.....ahh!! decisions, I can feel a road trip coming up, thanks for all your help though. How are you finding the Skyline Aurora, I've pretty much settled on the same roof because of the locking mechanism and I can get it fitted locally?
Clearcut stock both the Rib and their own YoYo bed so you are able to sit on both. I'm not sure that in the photo the seat base is at the furthest back it goes, it's just where I left it after trying it out. I'd say it was 1 position from the back. Clearcut has a good-sized showroom of the various bits they stock. Take care to check the opening hours before your visit. They close at 4 pm in the week and are not open at the weekend! Too much surfing to be done for working all hours apparently.
The roof is great, I really like it though I did have an issue with it. I posted something here on a thread about the Aurora roof:
Skyline Aurora Pop-Top opening on motorway?
If he can't give evidence that the roof is closing and locking correctly, then I'm afraid I reserve judgement on whether the roof has been installed correctly or user error has occurred. Did the camlocks undo themselves or have the bars bent in some way? As I said above, in the pictures the...
I found some more images of the seat in the quote I had from my local converter for fitting the seat and flooring. These might help you.
