Super stock seat brackets revisited
« on: May 24, 2008, 08:49:08 PM »

Hey guys, Just wanted to show the seat brackets I made for my a100 seats.  I want to thank rc1405 for the blueprint of the originals.  I know mine are not exact repo, I wasn't intenting too.   The originals were designed to mount the seat in a stationary positions from what I understand.  I used the a100 seat trackings which were 1in in height.   I took off the height of the a100 tracking off the original height of the super stock seat brackets so that the seat would sit the same height but still be adjustable.   I also wanted to send a FYI out there for some of you guys.  My wife and I are license foster parents which put me in a position where I may need a back seat in the Dart at times because of having little people.  This is mainly going to be a drag car and I hated to put a back seat in it because of weight.  Long story short a buddy of mine gave me a untorn black seat out of a 70's something 4dr a-body that he had.  Even though the bottom has rounded corners unlike the hardtop bottom rear seat I thought I might go ahead and use it.   Well today I went to put it in and it is MUCH lighter then the original seat.  In fact it is so light that I will not worry about taking it out when I go to the track.  The original rear seat is pretty heavy so for you guys in a similar circumstance this is a great alternative.  Thanks Dan

Great job on the seat brackets.  agree You are correct on the weight difference I had a four door back seat in one of my darts big weight savings.
