Evo seats in a 1G

[icancruz]

I strongly second the upgrade to a better mounting material. I know that perf angle that you have was 'cost-effective', but please reconsider. If you have the coin you could even do some t6 alum angle. In any accident besides a fender-bender, the bolts will rip right out of their holes

Besides that, great write up

The brackets are plenty strong enough. The floor bolts are torqued to hell and back. That's partly why you can see bent metal on the very front edge. That and the floor levels out from the angle it is at. We had to bend the metal to get it to sit semi flat there. The metal used was 11 Ga Galv. rigging steel. It is not standard garage door metal. It also measures at 0.123. 3.12mm

Also, The lap belt for a 1G is seat mounted. The EVO seats do not have applicable mounting points for the lap belt receiver. The receiver will be mounted to the floor just to the rear of the center console where the belt reel it located. In the event of an accident the belt will lock and hold mass somewhat in place. The seat will only be there to prevent you from going backwards.

But yea, You need (11Ga) (1/8th inch) (0.125 inches) (3.17mm) or larger.. NOT garage door stuff. You can visibly see the difference at any store. Garage door metal twists easily by hand.

i know this is super old but has anyone perfected putting evo 8 seats in a 1g without using this angle iron method?
