Pass Corbeau seat bracket issues

[rydog1130]

I ordered a set of moab seats and brackets from CCOR. I noticed that the pass seat bracket does not line up at all with any of the holes in my floor pan. I'm trying to resolve the issue with them but just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue. The very back hole is about 3" short, the right front has no holes but if I rebent the bottom piece to make it longer I could drill holes there and it might make it line up better with the front right and left holes but it would be really close....I just feel like for something that is designed or sold as to fit this is a lot more effort. I basically could build a bracket in the same time it would take to make this one work..

I had to send my bracket back with a template of my floor holes, took them a week and sent back one that matched perfect with my floor holes. I even asked them to weld an extra tab on the rear passenger bracket.

I had to drill two new holes, but the rear matched up

Did you send them back to CCOR or Corbeau?

Not even an option on this one, that rear pre drilled bolt hole isn't even close to the threaded hole

Corbeau, they were very helpful. Looking at your pictures, I had a problem very similar to yours

Not sure why they have not corrected that yet. You just get your brackets recently there rydog? Or have you had them for awhile?
As far as I know, they've had a completely incompatible seat bracket for three or four years at least. That's when I first started seeing that problem crop up.

I'm not sure if it's actually an issue with them not knowing there's a problem, or if it's something like them putting the wrong bracket for some other vehicle in the Bronco kits. Because it doesn't happen every time. But the mismatch is so severe it's not just a matter of someone drilling a hole wrong or setting it up on the jig incorrectly. More like using the wrong jig entirely!

Now it's getting stranger though, with the different comments here of members having distinctly different problems with their brackets. Making it sound more like they're mis-boxed vs mis-made.
Instead of sending his back, a buddy just welded an additional tab on to his to get it to the hole.

I bought the seats/brackets in 2015 didn't want to miss the opportunity on free shipping, ha! fast forward 2 years and take them out of the box to find this issue. I'll call CCOR tomorrow and Corbeau to see what they can do! Glad I'm not the only one with this issue

I just looked at my records, I sent out my passenger bracket to Corbeau on 6/2014,

hmm....interesting

I have a set from way back and they are pretty useless as designed. Hopefully the newer ones are better. I do believe that Beard makes a set that seem to be engineered better.

 

[76YETI]

I did not send mine back...

 

[rydog1130]

CCOR is working with me on it, I just need to send some more pics to them

Update: CCOR and corbeau are basically telling me I'm shit out of luck because my floor pans are "aftermarket" and that I'm going to have to modify it myself to get it to work. Well, I tossed the bracket in my stock 70 to see how far it was off and even though the back of the bracket sits on the upper portion of the floor pan it's no where close to the original holes. So if you're running an aftermarket floor pans be aware these brackets may not work for you..

 

[DirtDonk]

Well crappola. So you're saying it did NOT fit the original pans either? Did you tell them that? Assuming you felt like calling back again that is?

I had similar problems. The rear holes lined up fine but the L in the front was too tall & didn't line up with the holes. I cut the L off trimmed it to fit lined it to the the holes & welded it. I was doing some other welding so no big deal but when you pay for stuff it really should be a better fit.

Same problem too, had to weld tabs and drill a couple of holes.

My floor pans were replaced before my Bronco was purchased, they never asked me if my pans were original or replaced.

Yeah what's really dumb is the driver side fits great. I guess that's not so bad less work overall but still I feel like things should fit better
