| I have cut out the steel seat frames in my dune buggy. I now have the empty floor pan. I want to mount fiberglass low back buckets. However, the floor is not level. What can I use to mount the seats to the uneven floor plan and how do I mount them. |

| On mine, I just took a piece of pipe and welded it to the sider frame of my seats. It was only in the rear and just ran a bolt through it right into the floor pan. |

I bolted a 2" x 3" piece of rectangular tubing laid flat to each side to use as floor mounts (I am running a 3" body lift for off-road). Then bolt the seat tracks to the top of the tubing.
Do you really want to go with the F/G buckets? They are uncomfortable after long periods of sitting, and offer no suspension what so ever. If you hit a pothole, the force gets transfered directly to your spine, even if you put the (extremely minimal) padding on them. I know someone that had those seats and hit a large hole off-road. Broke his wife's back!
I would go with a 21" wide fully padded or suspension seat. Much more comfortable, and look cool too. :D |

I used seats from a Sunfire. I made my own brackets to attach to the sliders and then bolted to the floor. I am very happy with them, very comfortable off-road. I would not reccommend fiberglass seats if you plan on doing more than a trip around the block.
Height is a problem with some seats and I'm tall. I ordered a 3" taller windshield rather than having my rearend bouncing off the floor.
My 2cents.
