    seat adapter thickness questions

    I'm going to fab up some adapter plates so I can get my aftermarket seats to fit. Do you guys think 1/8" steel is thick/strong enough?

    high flow fuel pump - cause worse gas mileage?

    Little background...the fuel pump on my 2001 Ford ranger 4.0 died so I ended up replacing it with a 155 walbro unit. It doesn't have any mods but I used the walbro pump because of the cost. The walbro pump was 80 compared to 250+ most places wanted for the stock pump. My fiance primarily...

Also found out my car was originally a CA car(I...

    can corbeau brackets be used with summit seats?

    If I bought corbeau brackets would they fit on summit seats? Being 6'4 I can't have the seats sit higher than they already do. I'm sure I'd have to re-drill them but does anyone see any reason why they wouldn't work? Summit has an awesome deal going on these seats right now and if I can figure...
