Ed,

I saw this in a magazine a few months back. They took the originial track off and bolted it to the new seats. They said it was a piece of cake.

You did a good job on those seats.

I put these seats in my '72. The tracks and brackest for ythese seats, as you know, do not line up with the holes in the floorboard. I used the tracks that go to thes e newer seats because they had the correct angle and spacer and ground off the rear brackects and replaced them with new brackets for the older syle seats. It was a little work but the seats are happy with the correct tracks and the car is happy woith the original mounting positions!
