I was debating picking up a set of these with the brackets. Definitely follow up with us with some insight to whether it is worth it.

Okay. Here's the skinny. I called Corbeau today. They had actually responded to my email a few hours after I sent it on Friday. I was out in the garage so I didn't notice until they were closed.

The guy was polite and helpful. They said that the floor pans in the pass. side weren't very consistent. so they did the best they could. I suggested to them that they caveat their sales in the future with that information to avoid surprises like this.

They gave me three options...

First, I could return for a full refund.

Second, I could modify the bracket myself

Or, I could send the bracket back, with measurements for the mounting points and they would do the modifications and send it back.

So, there it is. Not perfect, but they were willing to make it right.

has anybody on here had a problem with the replacement passenger floor pans not fitting? i bet if you set one in my bronco then your bronco then 5 others after that it'd fit fine. i love how they keep blaming the problem on our broncos..........

but that's the same response i got from them, send it back and we'll modify it. by the time you pay shipping back to them you can pay a welding shop to weld a tab off the back so it'll lap over the floor pan. why haven't they fixed this problem to compensate if there's a known issue as they supposedly know?????

That I can't say. What is for sure: don't buy these brackets if you want a bolt in item.

Corbeau Seats and brackets

I just bought mine this week, it took me about 1 hour to drill brackets, only had to slightly ream holes, and bolt seats to brackets, then seat/brackets to floor. Got the Moab seats.....love them!

Was thinking of the Moab seats, but worried about the height of them. Anyone have pictures of the Moab seats in?
