Utility buckets VS. sport buckets

Is there a difference in the mounting width or will the brackets bolt right in? I building a blazer that I believe had utility seats in it and I'm putting sports in it, am I going to need to change something?

Re: Utility buckets VS. sport buckets

The mounting points for the utility buckets are located a few inches back from the sport bucket locations. Some Blazers were built with both sets of rear mounting points, but most only came with one or the other.

cleszkie, you're right , I forgot about the dual mounting plates. Would be a good time to install the second set, I think I saw that Roger Koop was making them
