I have the Ultrashield seats mocked up where I want them.

I have some ideas on how to mount them.

These must bolt to the frame and incorproate the 5 point seat belt mounts. I will support the back of the seat with a brace to the roll cage and the shoulder belts to the same tube... Howsabout some suggestions?

:huh: :huh:

I have no idea how yours mount but my kirkeys don't have any mounting holes drilles, I custom fabbed part of the mounting system. Mine will be 3 pieces, the piece under yer ass I already finished made from 3mm thick alu sheets, then I will add a bracket to the front of the seat near where the anti submarine belt goes, also from sheet alu and a bracket on the rear that ties the back to the rollcage but this bracket will be steel and has a brake in it for give in case of a rear collision. I'll be using karge bolts and washers to spread the load.

I will need to get me a set of dimple dies very quickly to spiff up those brackets Where did you get yours? There's 2 kinds on ebay... the expensive ones and the really expensive ones. I'll prolly have to spring for the really expensive ones as they also do steel and stainles in heavier gauges

I'm using the kirkey brackets... I was thinking about some 1x2 or 2x2 tube between the trans x member and the and the rear frame member with some 1" dia standoffs to get through the floor then bolt the kirkey brackets to threaded weld plugs in those. Belts are no problem...

Those JMR ones are the ones on ebay.... those it'll be then, will prolly buy a whole set.

 

[84rzv500r]

this is where they have to go...

:smack

The brackets that come with those seats, are they aluminium? You have the rollcage rear bar right where you need to mount the backside of the seat, would be easy to fabricate a nice bracket there. Then all you're left with is the bottom.

 

[84rzv500r]

yep they're alu and they're form Kirkey...

I'm still working on the rear back mount.

:cheers:

How thick are those?

TT, I don't know what size dimple dies you're looking for but here's a link to some that may fill the bill for you.

They have some bigger stuff too I think, but these are the little ones, and they're not too much $$.

:cheers:

those are for recessing fasteners and rivets and such. I don't want the draw bolt model either, I have a large shop press and will buy the one for use w/ that thanks for the link anyway, they may have some other nice things there

Problem solved...

will post pics... It involves some 2x2 square tube, some 0.875 x 0.095 CR Tube, and somr 3/8 weld nuts that press/weld into the CR tube.

Just proof that if you get enough things in your garage you can solve any problem... :rolling: :rolling:

 

[TwinTurbo]

what's cr tube? cold rolled??

 

[84rzv500r]

what's cr tube? cold rolled??

Chrome molly... I know I know but its what I had...

 

[84rzv500r]

I'm just about ready to weld all this up... I took the opportunity to gusset the trans xmember back to the frame rail in building two of the mounts...

:thud:
