Default HELP!!! Corbeau lowering seat bracket conversion!?

Hi all!

Got a 1969 vette. Putting in Corbeau GTSII bucket seats.

Anyone do the speed direct corbeau lowering seat bracket conversion???

We got the brackets and they do NOT seem to make sense....
its either WAY to high or seat slider does not clear/too low.

Instructions manual shows 1974-8...so that is not much help!

Need help on this!!!

THANKS!!!
Ron

I didn't use GTS but did the A4 and it was a PITA, even with the speed direct sliders.

Bolted down, the seats really do not slide much if any at all due to interference with the brackets. I wish I had pictures to help but didn't take any and I'll be damned if I want to remove the seats!!

I actually would like to change my harnesses from Corbeau to Schroth but refuse to unbolt the seat.
