April 24, 200817 yr I'm installing the jump seats in my Brat this week, I know that the base part welds into the bed, and I can attach the TOP of the headrest bars but how do the bottom of them attach? I've not been able to find any pics etc. on here and a search hasn't proven very fruitful. Any help would be appreciated!!
April 25, 200817 yr There should be brackets on the front wall of the bed for the lower end of the headrest track. Sounds as if someone cut those off for what ever reason. Sorry, no pics of them. I can get pics latter today, or tomorrow.
April 25, 200817 yr Author Cheers! If you're able to get me pics I'd appreciate it! That way I know what to fab up as a replacement.
April 26, 200817 yr If yours is a 86 0r 87 brat you will not have the bottom mounting brackets,.. Of all things i have.....i have the pair of brackets... $ 8.00 shipped to your door
April 26, 200817 yr I just drilled throught the rear, cut off some round stock and ran a bolt for my bottom attachements.
April 27, 200817 yr http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/bracket1.jpg There's a rough sketch of the bracket. It's made from a 1" wide strip of sheetmetal. Would've posted pic, but camers is MIA thanks to Son.. edit; There is supposed to be 2, 5/8" long feet on the bracket. Don't understand why it shows only 1, I drew 2......
April 28, 200817 yr Author Cheers guys, I appreciate it! My Brat's an '82 and I'm about to start a restoration on it so I need to get things all figured out! I'll get back to ya on the brackets for $8.00... I managed to make it to a Subie meet 200+ miles away on the weekend so now my "honey-do" list is about 3 miles long and it's looking EXPENSIVE
