Hey, the box looks good!

I recently got a pair of seats from a Honda Civic and was curious as to how you installed yours.

**jimmy_dong** · 11-24-2008, 05:20 PM

a frame was made for those seats. the frame is way overkill and those seats are heavy as hell. there are bolts welded to the bottom and all you have to do is drill a couple of holes and mount the seats, just make sure that the seats are center to the steering wheel.

blake, how do you like those seats? sat a little low for me, it was a helluva climb getting out of my truck. get those recovered and they will look sick. what did you do with those $hitty seat belts?

I assume the holes I have to drill are where the dimples are on either side of the transmission hump?

Is there a nut on the otherside or do I have to put a nut there?

you have to put a nut and a big @$$ washer for surface area. you would drill the holes where ever the seat sits center to the steering wheel. be sure to use good hardware here, it is the only thing holding the seat to the floor, you dont want the seat tearing out of the cab floor during an accident.

I am going to take my seat off the framework, and cut 2" out of the height and weld it back together and see if I can mount the seats to the current frame so I don't have to drill extra holes.

The console is nice but I'm digging the wheels more.

The box looks good, those seats look really low.

i love the seats, they were a little low at first but im used to it and i like them alot now, and i sold those seatbelts to a ricer kid for $60 bucks lol,
but yea ill post more pics of the box later, i cut the holes for the plexi, and made peices to make it fit up against the dash and i made a peice at the back of the box where the amp is mounted at an angle between the box and the rear cab wall, i also routed all the edges so they are rounded, its comming out quite nicly and im proud of it lol
