I haven't yet no. It's next on my list to do but I've been swamped lately and I keep putting it on the back burner. I'll definitely update you as soon as I have though.

Started working on mounting the back seats today. Got everything measure out and marked up. Drilled holes for a few of the brackets. Going to have a buddy come over in the near future to give me a hand putting them in since I will need to have someone on top with a wrench to hold the bolt while I am underneath putting the nuts and washers on.

Realized I didn't have installed pics up of the fronts. Here they are mounted. Will need to reupholster them at some point but I really like the fitment and its really nice having the shoulder belt. Pretty comfortable too.

Where did you order those seat brackets from?

Thanks

I got them off of eBay. Here is a link to an ad for them that's running right now - click

Rear seats finally installed! Next step will be to spot weld the nuts in place underneath. I don't want to worry about them coming loose over time. I'm really stoked to have them in finally!

So far so good on the brackets. I haven't noticed a huge vibration thus far with them installed. My blazer is pretty noisy at the moment though so I suppose it is possible I can't hear them. I have an exhaust leak that I am about to fix that will quiet it down considerably. I'm also going to be installing sound deadener and carpet in the next few months as well, so if anything changes and I can shed some more light on it then I definitely will be glad to help.

Do you have any pics with the seats out and the brackets installed ?

I don't but I can take some for you tonight after work.

Thanks. I picked up a suburban 3rd row seat, so will be doing something similar as well.

Ya no problem at all. Install was pretty easy. The only thing I ran into was that when I mapped out the template, some of the bolts went through on the angled part of the floor board. So I picked up some 1/8 inch steel to use as a mounting plate between the bracket and the floor board. It wasn't really an issue on the front brackets since they are larger and didn't tweak as much. The plates worked out great for the rear brackets. I'll shoot up some pics tonight so you can see what I am talking about.

Here you go. Let me know if these help you out or not.

Have to do them one at a time because it won't let me do more than that from my iPad.

You can see a little in the pictures that the brackets got a little warped from tightening the bolts down but it doesn't bother me. What was most important to me was to ensure that the seats were secure. Once I get the nuts welded tight I won't ever have to worry about it breaking free.

Thanks. That gives me a good starting point. I was thinking of welding some round tubing to some 1/4 plates with slots cut in the plates. I will post pics when I get it done.
