So I'm rehashing an old topic but I'm having the same issues discussed here: https://classicbroncos.com/forums/threads/corbeau-seat-bracket-installation-problems.206987/
The driver's seat bracket will bolt in in more or less the correct position right away. I'm going to have to shim it up 5/8 of an inch or so with washers so that it will rest even on the floor (due to the factory cage nuts on the bracket) but all four bolt holes line up with the factory positions.
The passenger seat bracket is an alltogether different story. It is undrilled but it has tabs for the factory mounting positions on the tunnel and the floor. Problem is, if I were to use these tabs the passengers left leg would have to rest on the tunnel, and there would be about 10 in clearance between the seat and the door!
I'm just going to modify the brackets myself, but it's disappointing that a vehicle specific bracket should be so far off from the factory specs.. Even if I had aftermarket floor pans, which I don't, the position left and right shouldn't be that far off.
What I'm going to do is weld plates to both the tunnel and floor tabs and drill several sets of holes in them so that I can have a little bit of left right adjustment in possibly one half inch increments. I'm also going to have to weld tabs on the back of the bracket to catch the floor pan above the passenger floor well cargo space, if I want the passenger bracket to a line with the driver bracket forward and backward.
Anyway aside from being a rant, I will snap a few pictures of the modified brackets if they work the way I think they will.
THX,
JB
