Haha, sometimes I think detrimental might be a better word Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, it's true. I have to take it one piece at a time, or it just gets totally overwhelming, because there are a LOT of little pieces going into the whole!

Made the mounting tabs tonight. Okay, well seven of eight Here you can see the passenger;s seat is set in place and bolted down (I have not drilled a bolt hole in the elevated mount at the inside front of the seat yet, and I just cooked my 7/16" bit sooo that may not happen for a bit), and the three level tabs for the driver's seat. Haven't fitted the elevated mount for this side yet.


A couple shots with both seats bolted down. The sharp eyed may note the driver's seat is slightly further back than the passenger's - the mounts are not symmetric, and the driver's seat goes further back with the front bolts aligned. Who knew??



I noticed this once I actually bolted them down:

Looks like I may be shimming the inside a little bit to get them level. Or maybe just designing different mount tabs. Or maybe just ignoring it Apparently the floor in the S10 was not flat like I thought. I'm going to have to sit in the truck a bit and decide if it feels odd to me or not.

I also decided I'd make a center support for the bracket as well, between the seats. That will also likely lend itself to mounting the seatbelts.
