spring ride seats (sort of)

[BFR]

thought I would throw out some pics of my "new" seats
The bases are from ordinary spinger seats. The seats themselves are from a mid 90's jeep wrangler

Nice looking BFR...good job!

Bet they're a lot more comfortable than the stock seats! Plus, being from a Jeep, I bet the replacements are more weather-resistant than regular car seats. Nice upgrade!

the wrangler seats' mounting holes were farther apart than those on the springer so I took two peices of bar stock and drilled holes (2 front 2 rear)for the seat itself and the front bolts from the base. I put them all together and then welded the rear bar directly to the slide. Using bolts in the rear would have kept the slide from functioning. Still need to clean them up, but they are way better than the old box seat (its upholster was paper thin and those springs were very close to the surface

The seats look good, I have been trying to figure out some better seats so my wife and son will be more comfortable. When you get a chance could you measure the seat width and how much room you have between the seats. I need a middle seat and I am sure I could find a center seat that would fit, it would be just like the front seat in my dodge.

the next problem is the belly on the wheel. less me OR smaller wheel
lol

 

[BFR]

I gained maybe half an inch of belly/wheel clearance and maybe an inch between wheel/thigh

I'll get some measurements this weekend on spacing between them, I just used the pre-existing mount locations
