I took the seat cover off. Measured the distance of the wheel well from inside the interior, make a card board template. Now put this against the bottom part of the seat frame, cut and reweld seat frame.

it's just the back that's the problem. the bottom you just have to push real hard to get it to latch up into the bracket on the floor.

OK,
what does relocating your springs have to do with your back seat?
I don't think you did it right if you can't just put your seat back in
the same way it came out......
