Seat Bracket Build (will clean up soon)
« on: January 07, 2015, 12:29:25 AM »
Seat bracket build

So I landed a pair of cheap Corbeau's and figured why not slap one in.

I bought a factory seat bracket for the driver side for about 15 bucks which is nice because it allows me to use the factory bolt down locations very easily and also make use of the sliding function.

I initially braced the base up so that it would be right when I went to put it in the car with some half inch square tubing.

I then proceeded to cut the factory upper support off with everything else so that the rails would be flat.

Once the rails were flat I began to figure out where I wanted the seat to sit, which was lower in the butt area and higher in the front part which would give me a slight lean backwards but not enough that I'd drivin' like some thug gangster person.

Once I got the cross braces on where I wanted them to clear the seat I started building them out of flat 1/8th inch by 1 inch steel stock which i bent to a little over a 90 degree angle up front and at like a 30 degree angle in the rear as seen in the pics.

After getting all the holes drilled for the bolts and mocking up the layout of the seat on the frame I welded all the spots heavily cuz it was going to have my weight over it every day. I removed the initial bracing at this stage because the cross braces were in place.

For the seat belt I used the stock shoulder belt and the factory latch which I attached with a bolt, a lock washer and a nut welded to some more 1/8th by 1 inch flat stock.

Pretty much all that's needed once this is done is to paint it and install it.
