Re: Project "Sweet 16"
So we installed the seat on Friday, only to find that it was pretty "wobbly" (as my son put it). After scratching my head for a sec, I realized that the entire floor was flexing under the seat (front to rear). That certainly won't do. Here's the fix I came up with. Welded 1/8th in plate from the rear "bulkhead" forward to span the factory recess in the floor pan. Then trussed it with 1/8th inch plate to fill the recess, kicking the legs out at about a 20 deg angle. We re-mounted the seat this afternoon, and I'm happy to report no flexing of the floor anymore! Peeling up that Peel and Seal really did suck though!
