Ok ok you all talked me into it. I plan to powder paint them again provided I can still get decent pricing. With that said let’s pretend they are just bare aluminum with all the hardware to install onto the seat (not the fire extinguisher of your choice) . There are a few holes pre drilled for some but not all fire extinguishers and their mount systems.

This is still just for "movable passenger seats"? I'm guessing there isn't anything to bolt to without the track for the early cars with fixed passenger seats?


My mounts don’t bolt to the rails it sandwiched the fiberglass seat frame. Unfortunately I don’t have a fixed seat car to experiment with


When you get around to it, maybe I can help with that. I have a 71 and a tape measure

It just doesn’t make financial sense to even go into the 70-71 market. Most have been converted and to make $10 a mount is about the equivalent of to a Led Zeppelin from a business standpoint.

The bolt holes on the rail that the fixed seat bucket bolts to, are centered on the hinges
I put in for a adjustable pass seat. So those holes, if I understand how your bracket works, may just need a couple holes drilled in your bracket, then sandwiched between the seat bucket and the rail. If you want to pm me a couple measurements I'll check. Or maybe a fixed seat owner will understand what I am saying and will try for themselves. The sliders are centered to the hinge and I think I read that your bracket is pinched between the sliders and the seat. Now all I need it your credit card number.

Ok for what ever reason people don’t understand how these mount. There are existing holes in the fiberglass seat shell (not the rails) the mount goes on the bottom of the seat shell then the upper rectangular aluminum washer sits on the top side of the fiberglass shell and then 2 8mm bolts fit through sandwich every thing together
