Icehound Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I can't complain they did a good solid job and they do know what they are doing - I feel confident that these seats won't rip out if I'm ever in an accident. I'm willing to pay a bit more if it means less worry in life. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanLA Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Here are some photos of how the seats were mounted. Cheers Dave That's a nice looking setup! I just picked up some S2000 seats and I've started trying to figure out the install. I think I'm going to try to dump the sliders and make a bracket to mount it to my 280zx sliders. Hopefully, I'll get it all figured out this evening. I'm ready to get some seats back in my car! Edited January 19, 2012 by RomanLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave Icehound - thank you for the pics, I used your installation as starting point for my design. Here are some pics of my install. I used 11 gauge steel for the plates. A full description of my install is at the following link. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/interior-s30/48744-s2000-seat-swap-240z.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Wow. At first, I didn't think 700$ was out of line...But I do now. That's two flat plates of 11ga steel, looks about...cut out with a plasma cutter (took all of three minutes to draw them on and cut them out), edges cleaned up, holes drilled and powdered black. For 700$. The interior doesn't even look to have been disturbed at all! Surely for 700$ we're missing something. Even at 100$ an hour I'm seeing a 330-350$ job. EDIT: I don't mean to sound cheap...but really, if that's all there is to a professional shop mounting those seats into the car, I can't help but wonder how much of that is "restomod" tax...And Yes, Drax, I *HAVE* mounted seats into a Z, and gotten them positioned where they needed to be, and got the doors to close correctly without hitting them, or bumping the driver's head. I'm actually about to do it again, and I am quite familiar with how much time it *can* take to get them right! I just don't see a 700$ job there.
