Post by dsgballer »

do the tracks come off of the bucket seats? if so remove them. and remove the seat tracks from your seat. drill holes if yo uhave to. then moutn your seat tracks onto the drivers seat. then you just need another set of seat tracks for the passenger side. if you cant remove the seat tracks from the bucket seats. then yo uwill have to put some sort of blocking under it where it hangs over and then botl the blocks tot he floor and the seat to the blocks.

i wouldnt permantyl weld the seats to the floor. welding on seat spacers to the brackets is the way to go. that way when those seats wear out you can junk them and install new seats without having to grind off welds to get the seats out.
