First test drive yesterday. I will post a video later today.

Got one seat installed. It fits good so going to order another. Wasn't to hard to make mounts and it gives more room.080CCF5B-0984-40CC-8D05-59A1272E7094_zps4qvvuvig.jpg

I don't know if your floor is on, but let's assume it is, would you need it to be off in order to make the seat installation easier or floor on or off won't make a diff?

It wouldn't make much of a difference. I used 3/8-2" flat steel and bolted the seats to that then that to the frame with enough off set so the bolts they supply work. You can get a wrench on them pretty easy. For the back there is room to fit a socket down and do it that way. For the harness I drilled and tapped the 3/8 steel and bolted the side and sub belts to it with the hardware the provided. Now I'm sure this is not what most people would do, they would what it strait to the frame but this way I can take it out all in one unit. If the seat did break off the flat steel would still be bolted to the frame. I don't plan on doing and real racing, but the seats look better with harnesses and the car is safer overall with no top. I can post some pictures of how I did the mounts if you want.

Yes, put some pictures up. I have the same seats. Did you get the adjustable rails too?

No I didn't. I don't think there is any room to slide anyways, inless you got the cross bar out.

Once I figured it out it they weren't to hard to make if you have the tools. And the way the bolts on the seats sit you have to angle the brackets a little bit.
