Default Anyone with aftermarket seats installed?

I need some underside view pics of your brackets and stuff. Since the back portion of the seat mounts sit lower than the front, I can't really see any easy way to mount them without either fabricating up a totally custom bracket or stacking a bunch of washers, which I don't really want to do.

I think I can get away with the passengers seat by reusing the factory slider and getting a piece of flat bar and drilling the holes to mount to the slider and the seat in it.

With the drivers side though, I have the power option with lumbar and all that crap. Any suggestions? I guess I could go hunting for a manual drivers side..

Yep, you posted the best answer. Just get a manual driver side bracket/slider.

Hm.. Any idea where? Just did a little ebay search and nada.

The seats already came with sliders. I don't guess it would be that big of a hassle to make a similiar bracket to mount the slider portion to.

I guess my only problem now is fixing the damn seat belt dinger. Nevermind, found the belt minder disable procedure.

Go to your local Industrial Metal Supply and get a few aluminum 2in bar stock. Cut to length and drill a hole for the bolt. Cheap, easy and effective.

Well I don't know what I'm complaining about really, I work in a machine shop so it should be that hard to fab something up that'll work.

#1 the car has been in the body shop for the entire friggin month.

#2 these seats have been sitting in my living room under the Christmas tree for just about as long.

Guess I'm just itchin to drive the damn car with the damn seats! Can ya blame me?

PS: Post body shop pics to come after I get the Bullitt scoops painted and installed along with the already painted Cobra side skirts (!!!!)

I put in corbeau's and had to buy the brackets. I am not sure what seats you are putting in but if it gets to the point you can't make then work then call corbeau and see if their slider brackets will work with the seats you have.
