Pain in the a$$ or should I say just alot of work. 4+ hrs. I took off the frames/brackets from the stock seats, then with a plasma torch cut off everything but the sliders. The inner slider was then welded to the outer slider to keep it from moving and the surface was grinded flat. The brackets were then bolted on to the car and 2 steel bars were tacked welded across the stock sliders. The seats were then layed on the bars and angled a bit to keep them from rubbing against the center console and then their sliders were tacked to the flat bar. I then removed the seats and the brackets from the seats and welded everything right. Alot of work, but got some cool seats and I used the stock mounting bars for safety.

Looks great! What seats are these?
Now you need a set of decent racing belts. I guess white would be nice.

Best I can do is some close-ups of the brackets. I didn't bring me camera to my friends house. Hes got the plasma cutter. We couldnt figure out how to remove the
inner slider. So we just left it and welded it still to keep it from moving. |
