Like some of you other guys...I about had it with the factory Leather seats in my 99 GT. They were hot in the sun and very unsupportive. I only use my car on weekends, so i didn't want to sepnd a fortune on seats. I purchased some aftermarket seats and they look great. When I go them out of the box the bolt pattern was 11" wide and 16" in length. The factory bolt hols are 14" On center. I wanted to keep the factory brackets, since they Bolt in easily and the drivers seat is power.
I ended up buying some 1/4" x 3" aluminum flat stock and after a lot of measuring came up with a lightweight, inexpensive adapter. The total cost of materials was about $35.00 and took 3-4 hours labor. (in the Hot Florida heat & humidity).
I have tested the seats and they work great. I took them out, because I am having the interior painted. I will post pics once I get them in for good.
Here are some pics of the process:
