then fab a bracket under the new seats, and mount those brackets onto the steel square tubes......
so it would look like this from the side:
/______\ <- bracket for new seats
D____D <- square tubes
--------- <- stock tracks

sorry for the crappy illustration....
the brackets would be made from 1" square tubes and 1.25" angle and the "sandwich" square tubes would be 1" too. do you think they would be sturdy enough?

thanx thanx

Hmmm, not sure... You know they do make universal seat tracks for VW's, look in hot VW's or VW trends mag's they are around 60-80 bucks a pop. im not to sure on how they work. all i know is i have seen them and the drivers side has sliders... and the passenger side tilts forward only.
Might be worth investigating.
