[Chevelle-list] Installing bucket seats?
Hi! When I installed the bucket seats that have a much more rigid frame I noticed that the floor/brackets doesnt align horizontally with the four legs on the seats making them wiggle on three legs. If I just bolt em down anyway the slides get warped, making it hard to adjust the seat forward/backward. Is it supposed to be some sort of adjusting mechanism to fix this? B.R. -- Pelle
Re: [Chevelle-list] Installing bucket seats?
Pelle If you are not using stock seats, you may need a spacer under one or more of the mount bolts to prevent the wobble. I had to drill new holes for one of the bolts on each of my seats. Also if you do drill a new hole, use some kind of floor reinforcement. A large heavy duty washer or piece of steel. You don't want the seat pulling loose in an emergency.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Installing bucket seats?
Pelle, If you converted from a bench to buckets you will need a mounting plate to provide the correct support and height. All the Chevelle parts houses carry these plates for about $17.00.
