Spent some time working on the seat brackets today. You have to cut the original brackets on the new seat all down to 1 1/2 inches tall. Then get 1- 2 inch angle iron cut at 53 1/2 and another one cut at 44 inches 3/16 inch thick. These are the main cross brackets to bolt the seats to the original PW Seat frame. Long one goes across the rear angle down and is bolted in place by the door frame on the flat metal going from the PWs seat frame to the door Jam sides. This fits flush on top of the raised old PW seat frame and also goes behind it. The Front 44 inch one goes on top of the old PW seat frame angle sticking up and is bolted to the lip in several places. Then 4- 18 inch long 2 inch 1/8" angle iron peices are welded flush to the front cross Angle and over the back one to these to match the new seat mounts. The outside ones are 40 1/2 inches apart and centerd on the front mount. The 2 inside ones are welded to match the New seat mounts. This gives you 1 1/4 inches of room between the seat and the door. It will allow you to remove the 2 seats easy as a set and make them solidly mounted and not cut up or modifie the Original frame except a few holes for bolts. This Bracket is for the Ford Ranger pick/up truck split bucket bench seat and also allows you to still adjust the seat and keep it at factory height. Sorry if this was boring but I thought I would give you the information I figured out to save you some time if you were thinking of doing the same thing. Mark H.
