Hey Greg I just picked up the same seats you have but in black. Question what did you do as far as install brackets and did you have to raise the bases of them up so you are not sitting on the floor. Mine came with early mustang brackets which I can modify if I need to. How do you like them? They look sweet. Would it be possible for you to get me some shots of the base of the seats and where you drilled the brackets. Thanks man

I dealt with the mounting bracket problem by making some L shaped brackets cut out of heavy wall steel rectangular tubing. You will have four different heights when done. If you start at the front next to the trans tunnel, that is the shortest, followed by the other front, then the tunnel side rear, and door side rear. The shortest one moves the factory multi slot tab up about one inch off the floor, which in my case is about right, but may be a bit low for some tastes. The seats are very comfortable, and the material is excellent quality and has the feel of fine leather. You can also buy the exact same material from PROCAR, which is what I did for the rest of the interior.
