Time for installing seat brackets and hinges to the floor. Here again I’m reusing the old hinges, all except one which was too rusted. There was more prep to getting these ready for welding than I assumed. So it took a couple days and both times I finished near dark.. therefor the welds were a bit chunky but the brackets ain’t going nowhere!

Drivers side done. Had to install the brackets to the bottom of the Large seat rail assembly, then fit the middle adjuster in place to get the correct placement of the floor brackets before welding (as advised).

Note: I believe you could measure 11” from the crossmember back to the middle of the pivot pin on the floor hinge and get a proper placement, but YMMV

My stock jack points both needed a little work, neither were really all that bad but the outer shells both had some rusted out areas. Here’s where I cut away the bad area on the passenger side:

The metal was pitted so I found a convenient piece of left over sheet metal to overlay and hopefully prolong the life of this area:

Sprayed some protective paint inside the cavity and cut the needed section from a RD piece I’d picked up some time back:

Hope I got it stuck in the right place cause it was dark when I welded it in:

And just cause I’m a glutton for punishment, I decided to continue my welding in the dark non-sense! This time, the thin little metal strap for holding down the wiring under the passenger seat:

Next on the agenda is to repair the rusted out area that the frunk handle pull mounts to.. under the dash on the driver’s side. I made this repair over a few days work. First picture highlights the rusted out holes, but the area in between was pitted and thin so I opted to cut a large area out:
