Installing Seat

KV007 · February 4th, 2012, 03:05 AM

TTT. i put -98 rails on my 03 and it doesnt have a spot for the seatbelt bottom piece. anybody else gone through this? where do i mount my bottom of my seat belt. drill into the side below the center console and mount it there?

Mounting locations, you may want to invest in 99-04 seat brackets to secure the seats correctly to your '03.

I had a different problem when i put in my procar seats.
They came with aftermarket seat rails but i couldn't mount the seatbelt thingy on the actual rail, so off to the auto wreckers to buy a manual seat rail for $5 (best bet to find one there)

I say manual that way you can drop a bit of weight from the power seat (that is if you don't mind)
But if your doing passanger side don't worry about it.

KV007 · February 4th, 2012, 01:55 PM

just doing driver side. u think i can just drill in the new spots

roosgt! · February 4th, 2012, 02:56 PM

I'm sure you can get away with it but if it was me I would like the proper rail, I rather be safe than sorry type of thing.

KV007 · February 4th, 2012, 08:03 PM

well i guess time to find out lol. i got the rail for like 35 compared to 100. so worth trying

KV007 · February 7th, 2012, 09:22 PM

TTT HELP!

roosgt! · February 7th, 2012, 10:24 PM

I had to get a manual seat bracket and cut and fab the seat belt holster piece to the rail.

My procars came with new rails that would fit perfect but mustang seat belt piece attaches to the seat and not the floor.

Edit: easy solution like I did was go to the wrecker and get a passager side bracket and use that one, unless you want a pwer seat.

KV007 · February 7th, 2012, 11:43 PM

yeah, i dont care about the power seats. just want to be able to use the seatbelt lol. and dont have and wreckers here with 99+ mustangs

roosgt! · February 8th, 2012, 01:31 AM

Thats the only thing I can think of right now that would make it easier for you.
Other than choping and fabbing up something like I did in my race car, basically made my own rail and bracket for the car but I also had a welder and the tools to do it.

Are you talking about there is no place for the female part of the seat belt? There may be a star pattern bolt on the side of the seat that can be taken out and run the female seat assembly through that.

KV007 · February 8th, 2012, 12:26 PM

i will check that but yes no place for the female part that ive seen.

normajean · February 8th, 2012, 02:19 PM

I have 1993 sport seats in my 02 gt and I had the same problem. I used a star socket to remove the bolt that connects the back of the seat with the bottom of the seat and have had no problems.

97S281 · February 8th, 2012, 02:22 PM

pre 98 bolts to the floor. I had no idea yours was on the seat track. WTF?

KV007 · February 8th, 2012, 08:58 PM

yeah, thats the only difference from 99-04 weird huh. and i will try that bolt to the back thing thanks!

Slow_gt · February 8th, 2012, 11:13 PM

my 99 gt came with bolts in the floor and i got some seats that just slide right in

Scott2001GT · February 8th, 2012, 11:42 PM

I have a manual slider from a 96-98 Mustang...my Dad and I grinded a pried the seat belt bracket off. We then cut the bracket to where the metal bracket was just the L shape. After that we re welded it and boom there you go and saved 25 pounds
