  • How to mount rear seat after cage and mintub install?

    I am trying to figure out how to mount my rear seat in my Valiant. I can not use the original mounts so I need to fab something. Any recommendations? Pictures would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

    I planned my car around having the rear seat in it, so the minitubs and roll bar were made to clear the seat. I don't know how you'd go about putting a seat in tubbed caged car where the seat was not planned out in advance.

        Hmmm...pictures would sure help us help you figure it out.....

        Do you still have all the old sheetmetal that was cut out of the car? or did it get tossed?

          How far off are the original brackets to what you have now? can you draw a generic paint picture to show us, or post some pics?

              I don't even plan on aroll cage for 12- 18 mo. I just tossed the 89 formula's rear seat on the burn pile and lit it up.'course if kids will be riding it would be nice to have. I'll second or third the request for picks . Weshould be able to come up with something once we see what there is to work with.

                    In my wifes Duster, I used a threded eye-bolt, (1 per side) cut a small piece out of the eyelt, basicly making a hook, stuck the hook thru the seat frame then drilled a small hole in the rear firewall for the stud portion to go thru, put a nut on it, and snugged it right up...
