I need to know if they are still legal to ride in the seats in the back of a Brat in California. If not I will not waste my time reinstalling them in my Brat. Any help would be great thanks!

Yeah, should be, Subaru Brats were MANUFACTURED with those in the bed, so it's all factory stuff. You should have no problems with any laws.

Must have the seat belts in there, and it would probably be a smart thing to have the head rests also.

Looks like you're ok to use them. Check the link below, 3rd and 4th items on the list. You might want to print the page and carry it in your vehicle, just in case.

Thanks for the info guys. I have everything I need to put them in (seatbelts, headrests), now just to do it. Thanks again!

Well, I finally put my seats back in today. I got around to welding the bracket back in. About time! They look so SWEET in the back. One of the guys I work with tried to but it from me today. Not going to happen! Everybody has to stop and take a second glance when I am driving it. That probably has to do with the fact that I have the only Gen 1 Brat around. And I can't remember the last time I saw another one driving around. Kinda cool actually:cool: The 18 year old guy I work with was asking what it was. Funny he did not even know what it was and he had never seen anything like it before. Goes to show you how scarce the old gen of Subies is getting.

I really need at set of these....

Took me almost a year to find my complete set and I ended finding that set in my local junk yard.
