Fj40 seats

A couple of pics,


Shows the original seat frame welded to 50mm x 50mm steel angle
The seat base in the pulled back position (for the dog)
The seat folded flat if needed
It just fits and works perfectly. I have also bolted thru the wheel well into another piece of 50x50 angle steel for strength.
Hope that helps a bit

Hey mate can you do me a favour and measure from a point in the front of the cab to the back of the seat in that position, wondering how these will work in a 45

Would like to see front mounts too

The Punter,

The distance from the metal area of the dash (glove box area) to the rear of the farthest part of the bucket seat back is 1080mm. They can go forward but it would be a bit close to the wheel and pedals for me. I used the factory seat brackets that came with the split factory front bench seat and mounted the buckets to these with very minor fab work required. The Ford seats had the factory power seat motors and these had to be removed as they were very high. I cant get a photo of the seat base as they are quite concealed when installed. I also raised the rear of the seat mount by about 30mm to make them more comfortable. They are one of the best mods and i no longer get a sore back. Only downside is that leather seats get bloody hot so i put on a set of canvas covers from Aldi(cheap but fit good).

Good luck with it

Kevin

Hey mate did you bolt through the angle iron on the inside of the guards as well or just the top?
I have just picked up this same seat set up and am keen to install
