Thanks everyone!

As of today I have more things to add to my to-do list now.

1) Readjust valve lash because I think im losing compression in a cylinder

2) Wheel bearings. I think 3 out of 4 in the car are shot

I did not but according to the part/weight list on LS1 tech and the specs of these seats on their website I cut 20 pounds before adding these brackets. Not including getting rid of the rear seats of course.

Were your stock seats power?

[JoeliusZ28]

the driver side was, yes. So I saved more on the driver side for sure.

lol... u know i bet you saved less then a pound cutting all those holes

[bri2203]

How many ounces did you save by drilling all those holes?

Love the seats!

[JoeliusZ28]

i bet it was more than a pound. still if i get a pound out of each one thats 4 pounds Beats getting rid of useable stuff.

The C-Channel derives most of its strength from the outer walls which are still 100% in tact. These are still PLENTY strong. The supplied rail sliders on the seats will break long before these will.

"no fat chicks"?

[JoeliusZ28]

brackets can handle fatties but they will not fit in the seats! Another reason these seats are a great asset

Also driver seat is permanently installed and will not be coming out until i get a cage I'll take pictures when both are in, even I'm tired of seeing pictures of these things...

finally done!!!! 176 posts in this thread and all ive got is seats so far It was worth it though, i really like them. Glad I went with the bend method because any higher in the back of the mount and id be worried about headroom.
