MoNkEyT88 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 So, Im looking for some ideas. My 260z had the stock driver seat brackets cut out and the seat was installed by drilling holes in the floor and mounting it with fender washers. Ofcourse the sheet metal ripped. What is a safe way to create mounts for the seat and 5 point harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litman Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 A simple solution, and one I did for our LeMons car, is to spot weld 2" or 3" flat stock on the floor running from rocker to tunnel for both front and back seat rail bolts. Mirror these pieces with flat stock on the underside of the car essentially sandwiching the floor pan between. This will position the seat bottom parallel to the floor pan. Unless you have race seat side brackets with multiple mounting holes you may need to use something like channel for the front mounts to replicate the factory reclined position. Images of this approach in my '71. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks for all the sugguestions! Looks like I'll be getting creative with sq tubing. It should make the seat a little higher. And I have two new seats to install. Currently I have an aluminum seat in, and it's so low I can barely see over the dash and I am 6'2"!!
