bheinen74 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 cool SO they bolted right in (not including the wirirng)? NO. absolutely not I have used the FACTORY Brat floor mounts. I have not had to drill any new holes into the pristine floorboard at all and both seats are mounted good as new. I left the Brat Seatbelts mounted to the floor as well, factory. AND I used the Outbacks slider rails all 4, by adapting them some. -bent slightly more the front inner mounts of the Outback seat, they line up. -made offset spacer brackets for the front outer mounts of the outback seat -crafted adapter brackets to use the rear outer mounts to fit the Outback posts. -cut off the back inner factory Outback mount posts, made new L shaped brackets for them, welded to the outback sliders, that fit the brat floor mounts. The heated seat switch has been mounted in the rear consoler rear of the e-brake. see pics for switch I tapped into the fuse box of the brat under fuse "rear defrost" which was not used, and replaced the 15 amp with a 20 amp fuse. Dont adjust power seat with both heaters on, it blew the 15 amp For the brackets i made, had to factor in lots: tilt of the seat both front and side to side how far the seat back can be adjusted etc also had to trim the door sill/suffplates to fit my rear mounts i made. I would not recommend this in a non fun-top car, as they do sit a little higher. they work for me I am 6ft tall, and they worked for my brother who is a little taller. If you are over 6'3" then i would say no workie. by the way, got those leather seats at wrench n go for 31 each seat. cheap mod, cheaper than having a re-upholster job on my original brat seats. time took: about 2.5 full days, wiring took about a day alone.

GeneralDisorder Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah - being tall sucks. I am 6' 2", and I had to put in lower seats than stock to fit comfortably in my Brat. But those do look nice and keister heaters are neato. I might look for a set of those for my Legacy! GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That looks awesome. I wonder if you could use a separate fuse for the adjustment power source and one for the heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
