    I have a set of bucket brackets, 3 of 4 fit perfectly, the inner passenger side one has this lip that juts forward. Can someone look at their cat-hump car and see if this is the correct bracket for cat-hump cars?

    Mine does NOT have a cat-hump, so I was wondering if these would fit one that does...:huh:

    That looks just like mine ('76 Comet) there's a stud that comes up through the floor through it (and that gets rusted in place).
    Hope that helps.

    That is what I needed...

    I just got new seats from a '72 grabber with the brackets already on them, and they fit my car perfectly.

    These brackets (pictured) were going to get that lip cut off and a chunk from a 69 mustang bracket welded on to act as the bell shaped spacer so it would fit my pre-cat car. But now I won't have to cut.

    Anyone need these? Might be going up for sale soon...

    I took another look at mine, here's a photo, maybe it's not the same or maybe yours has a plastic cover missing(?) Does it look close?

    I think I have that plastic bracket out in the garage. Isn't it just a cover for the bolt area?

    I didn't know what it went to, but got it when I got the brackets...

    Yeah, it's like a shoe that slides around the bracket, think it's just for decoration.

    Are these worth as much as the non-cat brackets?

    I just saw a set of the non-cat brackets go out for $100, and have seen them for much more...:huh:

    And what is so perverted about "cat-hump":p

    That's a good question. You'd have to ask one of the used parts guys, mine came on my car and I've never had to try to source them - thankfully. One of the few peices that isn't rotted through!
