Ugh. I wanted to save time by spending money on Planted Technologies seat brackets and they are off. Well, the passenger side at least. I haven't tried the driver side yet. I reached out to them last week and still haven't gotten a reply. I guess I'll be welding after all.

I was able to contact them directly and they custom fabricated my passenger seat bracket. Kind of annoying because I had to pay return shipping but I understand that they advertise these as "should fit".
I think there is something different about the 75 troopy brackets vs the 75 truck brackets.

They finally contacted me last week. I'm sending them some detailed measurements today.

I did manage to find the hidden third mounting hole on the passenger side that's used with bucket seats. The first try was pretty much dead on.
I used an 1/8" bit at first and then a step bit.

Planted is going to swap the brackets with another set for a 70 that is closer to my measurements.

Well, I was finally able to install the BMW seats with the new brackets that Planted sent me. I did have to weld in to 3/16" thk pieces of plate because the seat rails were wider than the Planted adapters. The seats are comfy as heck but are taller than the stock seats. It almost feels like the seating position in my Sprinter van.

I still need to install a fuse block somewhere under the dash to power the seats. For now, I have a cig lighter harness to adjust the seats. I'll get the fuse block knocked out next week.
