    I need some input on Installing Some Bucket Seats in my 1973 Maverick. The Seats I want to Install are out of a 73 Mustang ,High Back Buckets. What have you guys used for seat bracket to mount up to the floor?? I know they make a Riser type bracket that was avalible on Maverick Buckets. Seem Hard to find and Pricey$ Let me know what you have done and any suggestions. Thanks for your help......Kirk :tiphat: engine_v-8_install-43_original.jpg

    Made a pan for the floor? I would like to see a picture of it installed on your car. Thanks for your input. I think alot of guys on this Board Have Fabricated Mounts ETC using the Original 71-73 type Tracks.

    I have a set of the correct maverick seat tracks on ebay right now
    and I live an hour north of grand rapids so you could save on shipping.
