    I’m in need of the front seat mounts for my ‘74 project. There doesn’t appear to be a set of new ones for an intermediate Jeep.

    If they’re no longer available, I guess I’ll fire up the welder and build a set. It’s not like I’m doing a faithful restoration…

    Bueller? Anyone? Shipping to Minnesota might be expensive.

    I'd just build your own, unless you find some very local to you.
    I sold a set a while back and the challenge to box them up was a pain in the .....
    Never mind the $130 cost to ship them due to oversize.

    Howard shows some pictures with dimensions here: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/136921/#post-1878203

    These early-style brackets are the same as the intermediate parts except 1) the driver's seat for the intermediates is mounted further outboard. You could center the brackets on the steering wheel. There will be mounting holes in the body at the right locations. 2) the passenger bracket has an additional short brace going forward to the top of the tool box. You can see it here behind the transfer case shifter. http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/161551/

    Yesterday, while out and about, I stopped by the local fab shop and bought a stick of 1” square tubing. I’ll see about making a set, but first, I’ll decide what seats are going in.

    Thanks for those links!
