Seat Brackets - Chromey - 01-19-2005 Im looking for everyones thoughts on these.. Thier made from 6061 aluminum, 1/4'thick, 1 3/4" wide. Took me 2 hours with my small amount of hand tools. Need some seats to test them on now. Seat Brackets - ZX3TUNR - 01-19-2005 You should make a how to :D Seat Brackets - Chromey - 01-19-2005 As soon as i get seats on these to see if they line up right, Ill make a how-too. Seat Brackets - Zoom - 01-20-2005 Send em to me. Lemmie see if they work with my seats? Seat Brackets - Chromey - 01-20-2005 Sure send Me 50 bucks deposet :) Seat Brackets - COCHYN - 01-20-2005 Unfortunately I don't see how the seat belt pretensioner will still work with them brackets, but still, good work... :D Seat Brackets - Chromey - 01-21-2005 Great, This is what i need... I need help making these, First off What is a "seat belt pretensioner"? Is it the seat belt assemble? I can make a bracket to mount this to the Bottom. Please More info. Seat Brackets - COCHYN - 01-21-2005 O.k. a pretensioner is what's connected to that cable you dissconnected from the seat (that black cable with the red/black plug in your pictures above). Now dissconnecting this, u will have a little annoying light come up on your dash, flashing. U could take the bulb out, but what's the point? If you have a smash, then the pretensioner (the thing that looks like a shot gun barrel on right side of the driver seat and left of the passenger), will not fire and pull your seat belt tighter making u safer. Basically, if u fit these brackets that u have made, u might risk failing the M.O.T. (not sure what u guys call it, but its the test ur car goes thru every year making sure the car is safe), and u've basically turned ur car into a Rally car! :lol: Now what u could do is look at where the barrel connects to the seat itself (which I believe is a sticky out bolt thing). U can see it here... Now all you need to do is make a bracket pointing upwards from the seat frame you've made. Basically its all straight forward, just copy what u see in the pic above and it will work...remember to plug the pretensioner in of course! :D Otherwise, have a look at the pics on this topic so u can have some other ideas... http://www.focuscanada.net/forum/index.php...opic=7874&st=20 Seat Brackets - ZX3 Canuck - 01-22-2005 My driver side base did not have a pretensioner but the passenger side does. :huh: I used the Sparco FIA base when I installed my Sparco driver seat. Seat Brackets - COCHYN - 01-23-2005 How the hell can it not have one?!?!?! :blink: :lol: o.k., well, its nice to know that your passenger will be safe if u had a smash! :unsure: :lol:
