How close it is to the door panel? About a 1/4" or less. The shop made it fit really tight.

the easiest way i found to drill my kirkeys to the racecraft brackets was to put the brackets on the seat leave enough space underneath the seat to put the bolts on then the front holes i positioned the lowest hole as low on the seat as i can pretty much right at the curve then the back 4 holes i drilled out all 4 holes then depending on the angle of the seat you want one hole might need to be opened up a lil. and a side note on the racecraft brackets the floor mount part (the black painted bracket) the holes need to be redrilled, the supplied bolts do not slide through because of the paint or you can file away the paint whatever you prefer.-tony-
