Does anyone have any pictures of the extensions installed?
How much extra room are you gaining?
Link to the extensions?

I am getting ready to do my seats next!
I think they give you about 2 more inches. I haven't installed my set yet.

I believe the go between the seat track and the seat frame...they do not bolt to the floor!

This is the approach I was thinking of to bolt Tiburon seats to my cuda....as I do not have a welder.

 :iagree: After thinking about it . . . I believe you are correct.  Only logical place would be to keep the seat tracks bolted through the floor and add these relocation plates between the top of the seat tracks and the bottom of the seat frames.

That's not what Year One's picture shows but  :iagree: that would be the most logical thing to do.  Year One shows them bolted to the floor.  :huh:

Holy crap, I think my brother at 6' 285  could fit in that second pic of the TMI Mach1 seat!  They look huge but that may be deceiving.

I pulled one of the GS-1 seats out of the box and have been sitting in it for the last two hours watching the Brewers-Cubs game.  It is not bad.  Not luxurious by any means but there is decent lumbar support and I can tell there is a lot more lateral support than stock.  I think the angle of the seat bottom will play into the long term comfort.  Definitely a huge step up from the condition of my stock seats.

BIGSHCLUNK I'm happy to let you (or anyone) test drive them, especially if you can bring Nikki. :stayinlane:


I can bring NIKKI that's for sure!  :burnout: I've got an out of state gig this weekend. Maybe we could hook on the next one?


Shoot me a PM and we can make it happen.
Looks like the Fall Mopar swap meet in Waukesha is the 23rd, so I'll probably try and hit that in the morning and see if I can stumble across something I don't know that I need yet.  If I am industrious over the next couple weeks I might even have them mounted.

Good luck making that work.... As others have stated they go between the seat & the track not the track & the floor....

They are universal brackets and the pictures are for a GM.

Who wants to drill new holes in their floor? I don't...  :deadhorse:

If I ever get my seats back I can shoot some pics of the install with the extensions - yep I got them too!

I installed homemade seat extensions in Marks Challenger. Pretty easy job Mark said he like the difference. Maybe he will chime in? @Marc70challenger
