without going back and re reading my own thread let me try and refresh. So the brackets just get fastened via nuts and there's no requirement of the brackets themselves to be welded? LMR did send me the brackets for the 94 and I have the subframes set to go on the 95 at some point befor the EOY.

If the brackets just bolt up then I'll add them myself and I'm sure they'll have to be secured with nuts. When I get the 95 done I'll have him throw those on while he's under there.

You could just throw the brackets on there with nuts but they're not going to do anything until they're welded to the subframe connectors.

No i believe the brackets get welded to the subframes, the bolts are just for the seats to be mounted to.

i think my brackets slip over the seat bolts that stick thru the frame IIRC. Not sure there's a bolt with them, let me take a quick look. Well they don't come with bolts but holes I guess one slides over the seat bolt and theres another hole on the other end of the bracket so maybe both ends need welding....

There notched for it to be welded to the subframe and bolted to the pan... You can bolt them but I would still weld them, big part of keeping the floor in that area from cracking which is extremely common, probably about 2/3's of the cars I had, have had crack leading to the rocker from the rear seat bolt nearest to it either on the drivers or passenger side. That cross bar braces the area.
