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 ![]() |

Most have been converted and to make $10 a mount is about the equivalent of to a Led Zeppelin from a business standpoint. |

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.

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 |

Thanks for everyone stepping up. It makes it easier to make these and keep the balance on the shelf.

Ok mounts are lasered. I will have them bent up by mid next week and the. To powder paint. I will open the webpage link for accurate pricing and qtys availability shortly Tried to order on the website and each time I try to click the PayPal link it keeps telling me I need to input my State. There is no box to put the State. I put in in the City/Town option in addition to my town and still nothing. It won't let me move forward to use another form of payment either since PayPal doesn't seem to be like the inputs?? Thanks, Scott |
