Rear seat update
I'm still working on this rear seat installation. I'm glad I'm doing it now rather than after the paint work is done!
I ran into a few snags along the way, which is to be expected. First, I had to modify the floor pan under the seat a little because of where my rear sway bar attaches to the frame there was no clearance for the long bolt & bushings. I formed some pieces of 16 gauge steel then cut out that portion of the old floor and welded in the new. Yes, I know the welds aren't too pretty but they'll be covered up with sound deadener and the seats!
Then I had to fabricate some mounts for the seat frame and the seat belt receivers. I also added some support to the center of the seat frame so I could get rid of that stack of wood in the previous pics.
I still have some things to figure out on the back of the seat plus the best way to mount the seat belts but it's coming along.....ever so slowly....."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells
