RE: Seat Bracket Installation ??



Discovered this when I had my ’62 bench seat out - If you look in the owners manual and closely at the brackets – they have some adjustment that the dealer could perform.  Loosen a couple bolts and the brackets adjust quite a bit on slotted holes.  I gained some headroom and leg room this way – as well the smaller steering wheel.  (Mooneyes steering wheel + Grant adapter #4310)

Dennis, That's the way the brackets in my 64ragtop Dart mounted, but being of a larger diameter than I suppose the designers of the Dart seating must have been, I just moved the brackets back a couple of inches.  Had to make new holes in the floorpan, and wasn't too happy about that.  Went to a smaller diameter steering wheel, too.

A side note, use a soldering iron or other heat source to make the new holes in the carpet, NOT a drill!!! 
Don't ask how I know this!

I know that this is simple but I have tried both ways and not that happy with the seat location in my 63 SF with bucket seats.

I suspect the problem may not be the seats it might be the size of the person trying to sit in the seat.  I have tried the brackets but ways and the way they seem to work best seems wrong to me.

I have attached a picture of the passenger outer bracket, is this the way it goes or do I have it wrong? 

Thanks
