Installing Swivel Buckets

I am picking up my swivel buckets tomorrow, and I thought I saw a diagram somewhere on this site that shows a where they get mounted to the floor. Can anyone direct me to that post?

I don't recall a diagram here, but we have discussed it before.

I assume you are pulling a bench seat?

If so, you will have to mount the swivels in the outside holes already there, and then either fab up or find the brackets for the swivel feet closest to the tranny hump, especially the inside fronts.

I did it by drillng out holes and using washers to fill the space between the feet and floor.

Yes, it has a bench seat. What the heck am I going to do with that after I pull it out? Sheesh...

We have to weld 1 part on the drivers side swivel mount and fix the plastic skirts, then we should be ready to start the install. I might have more questions though. You are forewarned!

I feel your pain, the split bench is sitting in the garage, and your post reminded me I need to get it on EBAY soon. Double sheesh.

If you have the brackets, your life should be much easier as far as locating mounting points. The most difficult part for me was making darn sure they were sitting as straight and level as possible, leaving room for the seatbelts and console to be mounted. I had to pre-mount and measure everything because the space is much tighter than I originally thought.
Keep in mind the mounting points for the seatbelts are totally different for the swivel vs. bench belts.

Here's a link to Scott's website (I think he's also a member here?) with some more details:

Yeah, I have all the parts.... inner and outer seat belts, complete swivel mounts, original console and shifter assembly, etc. We just needed a starting point, and the tip making suremeasures up right with the console is a good one also. Thanks.

Now about that link...what is the "donor part" from the car? Also, the seat belts on the bench mount "under" the back outer legs for the seat... is this the same for the swivels?
My husband can manufacture what he needs to at his work, so that's nto a big deal, we just need to know the "assembly format."
