so on an impulse I bought these seats for a really good price. The downside is the guy didnt know the brand and they didnt come with seat brackets. I tried bolting them to my stock seat brackets (which worked after drilling new holes into the brackets) but they arent wide enough for the the front seat studs and also not wide enough for the rear holes(about two inches off...not wide enough). So since I'm not much of a fabricator I need to get some seat brackets but dont know where to start. can anyone help?

no there is no name at all and i wanted it that way, but I figured there would be a tag or something, somewhere. Most likely knockoffs but they have memory foam cushions...lol dont know if that has anything to do with quality. I picked them up for 100 bux so not really a loss , as i could sell them to honda kids real quick for twice that. My seats have really bad wear and i have the black with confetti pattern and cant find replacements anywhere. So if they look close to something you have seen let me know because maybe I can get a set of the same seat brackets.

on another note I've seen Hunsaker seat brackets on other no name seats in a mustang before. Does anyone have any experience with them? if so is there any adjustments made into the seat tracks as far as fitting goes?

Well I unbolted everything and put my stock seats back in...I was so annoyed after all that work to see them not fit. Im going to take them to a friend of mine that owns a shop tonight and see what he recomends. Ill take pics tonight and post them up. I was just researching PGtech's build thread becasue he bought a pair of Hunsaker seats from a friend of mine. He had to modify his Hunsaker brackets to fit correctly but he also said that the brackets look identical to Procar/scat brackets and I can order them from summit racing....but at 80 bux a piece, YIKES!

One thing I will NEVER do is have a cheap seat in my car. At nmra atco we sold a set of fixed back corbeaus for 100 INCLUDING tracks...silly cheap but good stuff is out there. I got my Kirkey's for less then 200 with custom brackes and covers.

I had Corbeau's in my truck and had corbeau brackts on them and went in like a peach...and never looked back...

Since its a street car and a DD the price I pay for seats must be slim to none. These are something to hold me in a little better while cruizing the back roads. I no longer participate in any type of motorsport wether it be drag, auto X, etc., so again I was just looking for something to spruce up the interior a little. Also when you buy Corbeau's, procar, Recaro's, you still pay forthem to stitch their name on the seat...I didnt want that at all. So these fit the bill, they look nice, and they are some of the most comfortable seats I have ever placed my ass in. Durring my morning seat time in my "Man's Room" before work, I was flipping through the CJ pony parts catalog and saw that they offer Corbeau brackets for 175 (includes sliders) and they also have adapter brackets that you can bolt seats to your OEM seat brackets. The adapters are only 25 bux so I'm going to order a set today and see of I can make those work. I'lll let you guys know how it goes. Also last night at my buddy's shop, he had a pair of Corbeau seats and the brackets are all very similar but the bolt hole locations are a little off from mine, but I'm positive I can make them work also.

So just recieved my Corbeau adapter plates from CJ pony parts and they fit!!! I'm pretty stoked that I dont have to try and find a buyer for these. Really helps the interior a lot. Just ordered another set (only ordered for passenger side because didnt know if they would work) 5 minutes ago. I'll take pics once both seats are in.
