I unbolted my drivers seat in my 85' Xtra Cab and installed the driver's side Prelude seat. The 2 bolts, front and back closest to the center console line up perfectly. The other 2 closest the door don't fit at all.
The bracket closest to the front of the car nearest the door can be drilled through the tubular part of the body there, horizontally. I was thinking putting a bolt through the bracket hole, through one side of the tubular part, out the other side and fastening it with a nylon locknut and lock washers. Would any of you do it that way or does it sound okay?
The other bracket hole closest to the rear of the car nearest the door can be drilled vertically through the underside of the truck with no obstructions. I will also put a bolt through with a nylon locknut and lock washers. Does that sound okay as well?
Also, should I buy grade 6 or grade 8 bolts since the seat is pretty important to stay stationary when in a car accident? And do they sell those bolts at Home Depot?
I know these questions sound pretty lame, but I want to do this seat insall right the first time. And I have no access to a welder, no grinder or torches.
Please help me rest my head with answers to these questions.
