My seat bracket is broken on the drivers side (rear left) and the front left of the bracket has torn the bolt hole out of the floor pan on the mound there. Is there a replacement piece that can get welded in or do I have to replace the whole floor pan? Is there a stronger seat bracket I can get as well?

ha mine is exactly like yours. for now i just have my rear seat folded down and against the front seat to keep it from rocking back and forth. your gunna have to get a sheet of metal and weld it to the cross beem in the front and put a bolt throught it to hold the front down as for the back just replace seat bracket

Thats what I was thinking. Im hoping theres a replacement patch piece out there I cant find.

Also something that is helping my seat from rocking; 3, 5 lb weights. 1 in front and two stacked on the back.

they make reinforcement panels..50resto.com....check them out and I just welded the crack in my floor pan when it did that

Slo5oh

It pulled a nice clean hole rather than a crack

so go down to your local metal/welding shop and get a thin piece of cold rolled steel and make a plate.. that's what I did on my 84 bronco II

Thats the plan stan

mine was the same way also and after i got a different bracket from the bone yard, i stopped at my local hardware store and bought a bolt, nut, and oversized washers. i made sure the bolt was just barely long enough to not have too much extra and drilled the hole through the bottom of the floorpan. i know its a fairly ghetto way of doing it, but it cost less than $5 altogether and about 10 min of time and know my seat is fermly planted to the floor.

same problem as my 90. resto offers the reinforcement panel for this. i guess that should tell us that something wasn't designed properly. do they call that underengineered?
