I wrote $26 a set which is two brackets for one seat. For both seats it costs me $52. Is this what you're trying to explain?

are they basically sitting on the floor?
i made a custom one for my driver seat with aluminum angle but i need to do my passenger seat now and i guess it dont matter if its on the floor or not for a non driver, but i cant shift properly with my butt on the floor cause my leg angle to the clutch pedal is all wrong and my freakin heal just drags

Smokin - I have my seat sitting low for helmet to halo clearance, but they are not on the floor. You could adjust to any height and I guess if you wanted you could even have a bracket that was more than 5" tall.

You did a very nice job. I went about it a little differently. I think both methods are good and strong.
