$50 bucks

Found a set of 93-94 Integra seats that were a little dirty but overall excellant shape:



there is a second hole about 1.25" over from the stock front outside mounting hole that lined up just about right, enlarged it just a hair and was able to use the inside front stock mount:

just had to cut off about the lower .25" or so of the stock bracket to allow it to sit flat on the floor.
I think that being able to use the stock front holes makes the install much more stable and install went very fast...
outside rear mount came up with something similar to WSUWeston's brackets:


The rear inside mount is flat, so ended up using the old stack of washers install method. Used grade 8 fender washers on the underside so that should help spread the load.

I'd start with using some punctuation marks when writing, Then get the drill, make some holes and bolt your seats in.

sorry lol I use worse grammer than a 5 yearold some days. I got one bolted in got to make the bracket above, And I used a piece of Pressure treated 2 by 2 to use as a spacer to keep the seat level instead of a bunch of washers...

2x2 PT: Sounds like the Civic seats are a little different that the acura seats. I only needed to come about 7/8" of an inch on the inside rear brackets.

post some pictures of the finished product. If they are like mine, it feels a lot better driving the truck
