The seats bolted right in with the brackets they came with, they...

    M818 brake lights

    M818 brake lights

    Yes, and they work properly through the trolley brake control. When I changed the brake light switch i could get air flow through the trolley brake control but not when I applied the foot brake.

    M818 brake lights
