The tops of these manual sliders are straight and level with each other, so as long as the bottoms of the front buckets are flat, I should be able to adapt them with little effort.

I would love to see some pictures of how you handled that angle iron on the rear seat, as well as the bracket you cut and how they sit in relation to the door jamb. Sounds like you did just about exactly what I was thinking of doing.

I have katskins seat covers on the way, graphite grey with silver stitching! should look great. I'm converting the entire interior over to black and brushed stainless. When I take the seats out do the covers I'll take some photos for you.
Should be here in about a week.
