I found some time this weekend to finish mounting my seats.
You can't just bolt a seat to the floor, the sheet metal is too thin. You need to reinforce the area.
1. I finished lowering the pedal box by about an inch. |
|
2. These pictures are prior to the final welding. |
3. This is the driver seat. |
|
4. Before I mounted the seats I decided to patch the hole left by the old spring mounts. |
5. It still needs to be cleaned up a bit. |
|
6. The line down the middle shows where the reinforcement was welded to the floor. |
7. The welds were messy, but I'm not that great welding upside down. I will clean them up when I do finish welding. |
|
8. This is the inner piece for the inside seat mount. |
9. I am using these pieces of angle iron as the feet for the seat. |
|
10. This is right about where the outside front mount will be. |
11. Location of the inner mount. |
|
12. Front mounts on the seat. |
13. I added this cross piece for strength. |
|
14. Inner side with reinforcement. |
15. Rear outside mount. |
|
16. Front bolted into place. |
17. Nuts show where each mounting place is. |
|
18. Driver seat in its final position. |
19. Passenger side with mount holes drilled and reinforcements attached. |
|
20. Front mounts on the passenger seat. |
I think next I will move on to mounting the master cylinders.
