Built these custom seat brackets.

Sweet brackets!
Could a lever be mounted to actuate the locks ?
Wondering if a rod parallel to the handle and a little above, with an arm to actuate handle and a rotating lever mounted on the side would allow use from both front and back while not having to reach past anything stored under the seat.
Nice fab work and a well-thought out design.

Yes, I am sure I can add a lever that leverages off the bottom beam to actuate the pins. I even was thinking of putting a handle on it so it can be accessed from the back. But I like how clean and simple this is. A lever would have to be hinged off that rod in order to work properly and the sound of that rattling would drive me nuts. Appreciate the compliment!

You could make a pull lever that comes out at the front, under the front edge of the seat.

That’s where the slider handle would be.

@K5Devil bringing this back from the dead. Did you make any additional refinements? I’m looking at putting in some gmt800 seats and this is an awesome solution.

Yeah I am working on a completely new design. Im building the file in cad and the parts will be able to be purchased from send cut send. They will need to be welded. I have a much better design now in the works.
