I have not hooked up the e-brake cable yet. I am going to pop the body back off the frame to finish and paint the floors. I figured I would do it then.
I ended up drilling the rivets out of the "feet" on the front of the Vette seat. I am going to drill the rear foot rivets out and locate them on the track where I need them and either weld or bolt them back on. I will throw up some pics in the next day or 2.

Been working on getting the Vette seats mounted to the factory bucket seat brackets in my Chevelle. I wanted to adapt the seat to the car without drilling extra holes and to use the strength of the factory mounting points. All 4 bolt holes line up now after making 4 adapters for the feet on the seat tracks. I will post some better pics but these will make Corvette seats a direct bolt in for your factory bucket seat equipped Chevelle or other A-Body.
The front ones installed, I need to mill the sides down so the seat will go forward more in case a short person needs to drive my car. I am 6'6 and with these seats I am perfectly comfortable, my legs outstretch all the way. WOW never in any other car I have had.

The hydroboost is a flipped GM truck unit and the master cylinder is from a C5 Corvette if I remember correctly, been workin on it a while.
Now a few more pics of the brackets I made to install the C5 sport seats into my Chevelle using the factory seat mounting points and no cutting or welding of the original floor pans.
