wat Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 In the middle of refabing my seat mounts that were cut out of my 510. I got a template cut but I don't know: What is the height of the mount from the bottom of the pan. How wide the lip is on top where the 4 holes are. If someone has a shell sitting around to put a tape up to it I would appreciate it Also what is the reason why the passenger and driver side mounts slightly different on top? I was thinking of making both of them the same profile (both flat across).problems with that? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have a few seat crossbraces that I've cut out, and could measure later today ... I used my stock seat rails, and bolted in my seats to figure out where exactly I needed this cross-brace .. it should be symetrical/even to the passenger side I just used some thin wall 3/4"x1.5"x0.065" square tube .... it helps that my whole floor was already really strong, made out of 18ag Quote Link to comment
wat Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have access to a brake press and punch capable to 3 in holes. I was going to get the dimensions then bend it to a channel out of 1/8" steep amd put 3 punches in the middle. Box tubing for the horizontal wouldn't be bad but that is just more welding. But yeah if I could get the stock height id be happy. Thanks Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have a bunch of measurements from the time I made custom brackets for a set of recaros in my wagon. PM me your e-mail address and I can send you the photos showing the tape measure. I don't have them on-line. they are not the same height as the floor is not flat. One side is about 4" and one side is about 3". I think the inside is shorter than the outside but I'd have to double check. here is the original model I made - I was only interested in the top so the floor is flat for simplicity-sake. I modified the design to eliminate the rear strut to improve foot-room for passengers. Seat almost looks like it was made to go there! with both seats mounted... Quote Link to comment

Can you post a couple of pics with arrows pointing towards where you want the measurements ? I have my race car shell sitting in the garage, and can sit standard seat rails in, take pics etc, just need to make sure I'm giving you the right info. Failing that, I'll go back to drinking beer !

darc510 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'll have to recheck my numbers as I am playing around with mounting some different seats in, but this is what i have for stock seats with the triangle seat risers for the rear part of the seat. Width 15in x length 10.5in on 12.5in long seat riser mounts. the trans to door brace is about 4 inches tall Quote Link to comment
