If you do tell me about how it fits and how well the brackets adapt to the factory seat studs? Pictures would be nice,if you have them.

I've got em. Basically JAZ racing seats with the Jeg's name. The brackets won't align as the mounting points are narrower than the factory studs. I mounted mine to an aluminum plate that spans the factory studs. I also shimmed mine to have more of an upright position. I'll try getting you some pics when the car gets out of the shop from it's latest upgrade.

I had the plastic lightweight seats in my car for awhile... For the price, they aren't bad at all, but I like my Kirkey aluminum seats much better.
As next said, you will have to do some fabrication to mount them in the car.

Good to see some activity from you George. I guess your jumping back into the fbod world.

I haven't really been gone, just kind of lurking in the background for awhile now...

I seem to remember mine being in the 20lb. neighborhood with the bracket and vinyl seat cover... It's been awhile though, and my brain is known to be a little foggy at times.

Here's a pic of how I installed mine. I added chrome tube shims (for 4 of the 6 bolts per side) that the bolts for the seat to plate run through. This was to establish the seat back angle that I wanted. The aluminum plate is bolted to the floor crossmembers using the stock studs/bolts.
