New Seat Mounting (1 Viewer)

[cumminscruiser]

I bought a pair of new seats but then I had to make a new seat mount.

Getting the set height right and close enough to the steering wheel.

Fit-up cought two existing threaded holes

Placed in the cruiser, the gas tank will go back in.
The tabs in the center is for a Tuff Box.

No problem, just showing others how I did it.

Seat Mounting

I dont know who made them, and we bought a pair for my sons '77 FJ40 and I dont know what kind they are either. A friend thought they were sold at Kragen Auto, I bought them on Craigslist. The problem is mounting them. So I spent a couple of days figuring the mounting out. I'm going to make a kit for a buddy then he can weld it out himself.

It looks like Kragen seats but they didn't have seat belts. Would that long reach hold up to "larger" drivers? I would think you would need support in the center.

Seat Mount

I stood on one end my buddy on the other end a jumped the frame was stout.

WARNING under no circumstances even imply that additional seat supports need to be installed where your Wife may sit.

Seat Mount

Well I have several inquires about the seat mount, what i'll do is figure out materials and make a kit that could be welded out yourself, if interested or I could fab them also. I will be making one for my sons '77 FJ40 next weekend, it's a little different that my '68.

[CruisinMT]

only thing i see is you blocked access to your underseat toolbox.

 

[dgangle]

...and very difficult for your passenger to get in/feet over over that loop

[nicholastheczar]

Looks good. Am wanting to do the same thing and would be interested in a kit.

 

[Holverson]

Nice Work!!

Looks great!
I would probably be interested in a kit. But if nothing else a diagram would be handy too. I have a '77 as well.

Seat Mount

I think your right I'm going to add a center support so that when stepping on it, it won't bend ever.
