Thank you very much. I'm all in how money do you want?I was able to make my prototype tonight out of 1/8 flat bar I had lying around. I had to weld the final bend due to the angle it required as it broke when I scored and bent it. I believe 1/4 inch will require scoring and bending, but would not break so I would be able to weld the scoring shut and have a clean look. I'm a little hesitant to post, but no one will buy them if I don't show a photo of them so hopefully no one swipes idea.
This design dodges the under seat accessories, and requires no modification to the seat. You will however, need to remove the far left plastic form underneath the carpet, and trim it, or at the very least remove the staples in the top so it can be pushed out of the way. In the pictures, I have only removed the staples and pushed it down. You will also need to take a razor blade and notch the carpet on the right side of the seat about 1 inch. My seat wiring is already unhooked from the body, so you may need to do the same as well. By this I mean pull some wire retainers out of their mounting holes.
I've always thought the cruisers seat didn't go quite far enough back, but with this, It goes too far back for me. I was able to get 4 inches of extra room with 0 additional height. The rear however, will have a 1/4 extra height. I can't avoid it unless you want to drill your floor. If you do, then you can bolt it through and not gain any height.
I would make these by hand, and they would ship unpainted with 4 new nuts and bolts, will be grade 10 from fastenal most likely. I will of course pay for a vendor membership, as I respect the rules of the forum. Feedback?
Keep in. mind in the photos, I have not secured the extension brackets to the seat itself, just the stock mounting point. But I sat in it, and it held, and felt solid, even at 1/8 steel.

Also, I'm not worried about cutting or drilling the floor to save the 1/4". I know I'm asking alot with this, but is there a way to get the seat lower now that you figured out how to push it back?
Thanks again now I can start driving the LC again.
On a side note, are all years seat brackets the same?
