Hey all,
Well I managed to get the COBRA seats installed in my car. I used to factory tracks and made a bracket out of steel. One afternoon in the garage and they are in. I actually moved them back about 2" on both sides so I have to move the seat up one a little to be comfortable. Cant wait to get the interior back in and see it all come together. Hope you like.

Semper Fi,
Kris


Laying it all out with zip ties to see the fit.




Test fit on the seat:




Layer of FATMAT on seat pan:


Completed bracket on seat:


New Passenger/Old Driver:


Completed install. Much more comfy then the worn out stock seats.

I did a set of pontiac crossfire seats and newer 2005+ seats the same way. Good job, Good thinking!

I like the style if the seats for classic Stangs and like how you kept the brakets simple. I'm curious about the material fit on the seats, looks like it's fairly loose. Did they come new like that?

The fabric is was a little loose. I bought them from a guy on Craigslist. The deal I got on them was worth the slightly loose fabric. I sat in alot of seats and getting the real deal when it comes to quality seats makes ALOT of difference. You can really feel the difference.

Semper Fi,
Kris
