Seat Base Reman

[First opel 1981]

I am curious to know if anyone else needs GT seat frames?

I am speaking of the frame that is welded to the floorboard as shown here

I will be making some for my GT and am trying to justify the cost of some tools to make it easier for me. Plus its just as easy to make 10 if I am already making one.
I am only making the drivers side for mine but can easily make the passenger side as well. I am making them out of 20g cold rolled mild steel (factory metal I believe)

Please let me know if you need any.

Thanks.

what would I do with the seat frame? Is this for fitting a custom seat or something?

I don't know what you would do with the frame but I am building it to replace the one that rusted along with my floorboard. Removing the seat frame destroyed it so I must make a new one.

I can honestly only think of the one reason to need the frames and that is to keep the car relatively stock when you have to replace floor pan parts under the seat. I say relatively stock because, naturally, I can't make the seat frame exactly as an original, but it should be close enough.
