Mock the seat into position
Here, I've got the bottom of the custom Tack upholstered
WiseGuys seat removed to show the blocks I put under
the seat frame. This is how the seat is positioned
to give the most support under the thighs, while
still allowing my dad to be able to get out of the
car without commissioning a bystander to pull him
out. Now that the seat is in the correct position
(front-to-back & side-to-side), we can move
on to exactly how to attach the seat to the floor.

Choosing the mounting location
I believe the hole in the plate going from front to
back is for the slider on the WiseGuys seat, which
we won't be using. We want the seat as close to the
floor as possible, mainly for head room. I will be
using the lower shaded circle for the mounting brackets. |

Here is the bracket I'll be using.
If it looks familiar, it's because you've seen it
in the exhaust section of our catalog- it's typically
used as the frame bracket for our exhaust hangers.
Part #21348.

| I've bent one of the 21348 brackets
to use as the rear mount. The stud I used is one of
the bolts that holds the back of the seat on. I put
the masking tape on the floor so that if the seat
moves, I'll have a reference point to work from. |

| Here are a few pictures of the front
bracket. I used two brackets (actually three if you
count the one I cut up for the bottoms) and it turns
out they are the exact length I need to support the
seat at the correct height. |

Here's a bad picture
of the same bracket. You get the idea. |

was already there- the one that attaches the back
and bottom frames together at the pivot point. |

This is the finished
rear bracket. |
