Sourcing & installing a 3rd rail

Bubble · Aug 29, 2013

Hi

Just bought a bargain 5th seat ...anyone know where I can purchase a reasonably priced third rail.. If I can get my hands on one I would probably find a local conversion company to install it. Is this the best route to take ?

Cheers

Its like most things.. Best left to those who know how.. Spoke to Colin a Oxford t5. Nice guy and helpfull. They need bolting right the way through with specific brackets etc so a ramp is needed etc.
Good thing is that it's very possible so thanks everyone for the help

Can you have a fifth and 6th seat fitted with only two rails?

NShep · Oct 4, 2014

I already have three rails, I thought that was the norm for a Cali beach? I am looking to buy an additional seat or two, so if anyone has any wisdom the I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Sorry to jump on this thread, but on a new build SE, do you still have to order an additional seat in order to get the 3rd rail or is it now standard?

:thanks

I may be wrong but I thought all Cali's came with 3 rails as standard :thumb

Only 2 rails in standard California SE, unless 5th seat ordered.

This may sound like a silly question... but i have a 2 seat bench beach and there are three rails under the bench and i am presuming there is another under the box at the side.

Is this correct? If so then I have 4 rails!!!

If this is right then i am guessing I can remove the multiplex board and box and have two additional seats in the back.
