    Did you use the Accord track mounted on top of a Maverick track? I havent decided how I will mount them, but leaning toward stacking at the moment.

    I used accord track only. I,m 6,5 so i needed to mount low and as far back as possible.

    I used a combination of L brackets and flat bars to bolt to seat bracket. Drilled holes and bolt to to floor. Ohhh and spacers to level.
    A little hacking involved so be prepared.
    Worked great for me.

    ordered a new (different) float for my sending unit.
    the packaging just blew my mind...:slap:
    that's the part laying beside Effie's phone. that is a quart bottle of drink to give it some perspective of size.

    Sometimes I wonder if the guys in the shipping dept. get paid by the cubic foot.

    Perhaps that is from the ultra-rare Boss429 Maverick that everyone's buddy at the gas station had when they were in high school?

    Looks like a Comet judging by the shape of the hood. Seems to have the GT scoop as well.
