Kirkey seats and factory seat brackets? hey guys....
i am looking into the possibility of mounting my new Kirkey's to the factory non-power seat brackets. has anyone tried this yet? i keep seeing people fabbing up their own. i am keeping my back seat for my sons to be able to go cruising with me, so i would like to keep the sliding adjusters. if the Kirkey's are narrower than the factory ones, couldn't i just use some flat stock steel, aluminum, or c/m tubing to bridge the two sides together and mount the Kirkeys to that? what are your thoughts and experiences?
thanks,
Dave

I used the racetech brackets. Give Jay Billingsly a call and talk with him. He was working on adjustable brackets for his car the last time I was down there.

that's what i did...i just traced the bottom of the seat to get the angles, then used a press brake to make 4 "couplers" with the angles on the top, and flat on the bottom (to mate to the stock seat brackets) and welded it all together and works like a champ. ofcourse if you don't have a pressbrake to your disposal it could be a hassle.
