Anyone willing to take their car to Kirkland, WA for a day?

[Bentworker]

Looking to see if someone would be willing to take their car to Planted Technology in Kirkland (updated location!!!) WA.  Planted manufactures seat brackets, to mount Recaro and other aftermarket seats into cars.  They have brackets listed for 1964-1973 mustangs, but I am 99% sure they won't fit the 71-73 since the rear bolts are horizontal in orientation.  I am going to to contact planted next week and see what is up with their listing.

If they are wiling, and someone on the forum is willing I'd really like to get a 71-73 there so they could pull the seat, measure and fabricate a bracket.  

So- if you are up in the PNW and would be willing get in touch with me.  I'd be willing to reimburse you a bit for your trouble.

I may be able to help...depending on what is needed. I'm about 15 miles from Bellevue. My limitaion would be that my car is currently not a runner. However my seats are currently unbolted. If they just need the seat/bracket to measure then it may be possible. If they need to have the car to measure, mock up etc then I'm no help.

They would need the car too.

Thanks for offering though!

Update on the location...

Planted Technology is located in Kirkland WA...

I got ahold of them and exchanged some photos.  Anyone with a coupe or fastback willing to travel there and let them unbolt your seat would be much appreciated.

If I can't get anyone lined up for a test fit I have a 2nd option.  They will sell a generic laser cut base, and I would weld on the tabs where they need to be.

If I can't talk someone into taking their 71-73 to Planted by the end of November 2019 I am going to go with the seat mount "kit" from planted, and weld it up myself.

Future people that find this thread - if you have a 71-73 and would be willing to make an appointment with Planted in Kirkland WA please do. They would carefully unbolt your front seats and measure everything up. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours max.

A quality seat mount for those that want more seat options like Recaro, Bride, sparco and others that are less bulky and offer more fit options would be awesome.
