We have all looked at those ebay seats for around 150 shipped, they look great but they wont bolt to the stock rails WTF!! but here is the solution

on a 1-10 i Would give this DIY around a 7 and about 4-5 hours of fab per seat so this is a weekend project for sure.

Tools
-general hand tools
-welder
-cut off/grinding tool
-c clamps of a partner
-few feet of 1/8"x1" mild steel

Ok so this is what ships with your seats


take it all and assmeble it onto the seat, its pretty simple to instal and all fits right together, pull the rails out to 5 notches so all 4 bolts can go in, make sure they are all even ect ect.


sand all of the paint off and measure 3" and 10" down from the top, DONT COVER THE HOLES FOR THE BOLTS lol and tac in cross bars


this is what you should now have after you remove it from the seat. put the seat aside for a while.


Cut off all four corners of the stock seat rail and remove the rivets on the inside so they are all flat


I put the tip of the rail flish with the "hump" in the floor and measured all around to make sure its all square, mark the corners with a marker




after marking cut around your marks and cut down so the top of the rail is flish with the top of the stock mounts and tac in all four corners


should now have a nice level seat rail like this


the front of the rail fits very well and is pleanty strong to support it but the back only touches one corner


add more steel, look at the pic you know what to do


start finish welding it all weld on both side and from anywhere you can, in a chash solid seat mounts are VERY important!!!


tada!! if you plan on using a 4 point harness you can paint and bolt these suckers in, but i plan on using my stock belts as an option so keep going.


I started by removing the seat belt clicker and then cuting off the stock mount for it, moved it to the seat and added pleanty of metal and welded on all sides to keep it as strong as possible.


DONE!! bolt the suckers back in and you have some sick seats!!!

Wank.a.lot

just wanted to add
after you have it all tacked up, bolt it in and get in.
the first time i did something like this the seat was way too high. so i had to make new ones.

lock-pop!

where is the wide view pic with the seats mounted in the car?

Wank.a.lot

oh you also want to sit in the seat to make sure it slides far enough forward and back.
the first set i made didn't allow the seat to move forward enough for my wife to drive the car.

speedjunky01

yea obviusly test fit everything as you go and look for clearance for the rails to slide back and forth ect

PICS!!!

they sit perfect the way i mounted them for me anyway, im about 175 and 6'0"

nice job....are they comfortable to sit in? does the side support actually hold u in place? and how well do think those seats will hold up to DD'ing

I've always been concerned about how long they last when a fatty like me gets in and out everyday, until the back snaps off and i'm reclining on the highway or something

-SKUM-

Dose the seat recline all the way back? Because I like to lean back when the hookers are giving me head.....lol

i drive to school about 30 min each way and i deliver pizza as a second job so i spend around 30 hours just sitting in my car a week. They are pretty comfy, I like them better then the stockers as far as comfort, the stock were softer but they were pretty much two flat surfaces meeting at an angle. these actually fit a persons form very well.

as far as support goes they are amazing, its like someone is literally hugging you as you take a corner hard, you move a couple of inches at most even with the stock seat belt

as for durability, been about two weeks now and no issues or anything broken, they are fairly sturdy.

yea they recline all they way back, more then enough to bang, although the bolsters make it hard for her to be on top (tried it)

they also flip all they way forward to allow people to get in the back without having to pull the seat forward

looks great. dont worry about problems its done well. we made semi-truck seats and some of the yabo's there would throw down seats like yours, the difference being they were mig and you do just as well as them with flux LMAO

bet yours is 500x stronger than the stock seat too

speedjunky01

yea the stock seat uses even thiner metal and about 6 rivets total. i like weld much more

Im actually getting pretty good with the flux, i had some nice beads going and looked good but never took any pics
