seat pics
O.K. here we go
Piece of the Integra seat mount
Measuring how much to cu and trying to make it square
Tack frame piece on
Weld completely
Top and bottom
Clean and check your work,
I use a gas-less welder, the weld isn't as pretty, but I don't have to worry about keeping tanks in my garage
"Tanks for da mammories"
Install parts and admire.
or rest.
I used a 1/2 inch nut as a spacer to raise the seat a little.
The rest of the hardware I had on hand.
Install in car and relax.
I will be moving them to the rear another couple of inches.
After driving to work yesterday I realized I hadn't compensated for the Integra seat length.
No problem
I still have lots of frame rail left.
Just add some to the front and move my bolt holes accordingly.
Maybe weld a box from the angle iron to eliminate the spacers and weld that to the Integra mounts.
They are much more comfortable than the original seats.
Which as Johnny pointed out
Were not much to start with.
Tomorrow
Another trip to the yard and if they have no motors
I will start rebuilding mine.
Also looking for two more 13inch rims.
