Title: bucket seat under floor plates Post by: freddyc on November 01, 2016, 09:19:02 PM the plates that go under the floor when fitting bucket seats, how big do they have to be? I know seat belt ones are 75x75 with rounded corners.

fred Title: Re: bucket seat under floor plates Post by: fcwrangler on November 03, 2016, 12:49:05 PM Hey Fred, I'd be inclined to run a 100x3 mm plate the length of the seat. This would more than satisfy the engineers as there would be very little chance of pull through. Set it up and put 3-4 plug welds on each side to hold the plate to the floor so it does'nt fall off when you remove the seats.
