any comments about attaching seats to the cage (with pics)?

[ugly]

I am installing new/used seats into the beast... I can't decide if I should attach the seat mounts to the cage or skip it?

I know this has been discussed many times...it is better to attach them to the cage... I don't know if this applies in this case. Feed back please.

Ugly is getting uglier! I'm no fabrication pro- no tube bender. /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif

Seat frame attached to the roll cage behind the seats and mounting plates attached to stock seat holes.

Without being attached to the front roll cage?

Or, attached to the front cage?

PS- copeing without a jig/drill press is Slooooow! (grinder)

I would tie them in if you can, here is how mine mount: http://coloradok5.com/prpseats.shtml

yea you really need to attach the seats to the cage, if you roll and the cage or body shifts you could get really hurt, I would take off the mount that goes to the stock bolt holes and tie it into the bottom cage mount. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

any problem leaving it attached to the stock bolt holes and adding the brace to the front cage... may not be perfect, but is it safe?

I like your setup but my cage does not hit the floor where yours does, and I don't like a bar running higher off the floor than where yours is. That is part of the reason why I designed it this way.

This is coloradok5's rig.

That is almost exactly how mine is set up. Makes hoseing off the floor easier. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

im attaching mine to my cage, because with all the rust, I am even skeptical of standing on it /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif
