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.

Nice gap down the middle for cabin crew to dispense refreshments (or discipline) 
Or for the giant teenager to stretch his legs.
Actually thinking about building a little table that fits over the back of the middle middle row seat, so that they can have cupholders etc in the back.

yes I have done it
I like that, but I think I'm done 'investing' in seats for now. Next up is to design the bed frame that will fit over the top of all this.
were there markings / divots in the floor pan for R3 brackets?
No need to drop the tank either, bonus
As per Griff's post on page 1, you may need to remove some plastic covers from the side of the seat frame to get it to fit alongside the wheel arch, and cut the plastic around the middle anchor point, but otherwise it should be pretty straightforward.
This is the question I was going to ask.
Looking at the pics in this thread and others that show the heater trim then it may be a case of cutting out a section for the feet.
Be nice if someone has twin middle seats or the double in the 3rd row with a the heater in there too...
Does anyone know if you can put the single from a 2+1 in the 3rd row? I already have 3rd row seat belts for moving the triple back. Usually people just buy the central single shuttle seat and put it in the centre but the prices of those have gone silly!!
as in this pic below, can I put brackets where I've marked it up red and put the single from a 2+1 there?? as I have found some cheap T5 ones on ebay.
Thanks!

Won’t fit without lots of plastic panel hacking even on a LWB.
yes I think your right. My thought was that the single with the belt fits at the side but it doesn't have an overhang towards the edge of the van.
Thank you!
That won’t work - I mean anything is possible but this won’t be with factory mount settings, and a lot of messing around etc. The only seats that fit there are the centre seat from a shuttle- a conversion we have done lots.
