OI! Wouldn't you know it, I'm cruizin` down Fairoaks Blvd just past San Juan and I see rice. I floor it knowing I can out power him and take him in the long turn...during the coarse of the turn my right seat mount breaks and the seat (with me in it) tilts to the right hard

...still kicked the ricers ass but now I need a new seat mount/base/seat whatever is cheapest. Any idea on where I can go for this stuff? Ford Recycler doesn't have any in stock. Anyone have one to sell?

I'm confused as to what part actually broke. Is the mount in/under the floor pan okay?

The seat has 4 mounts that mount it to the floor of the car, the right rear mount broke right above the mounting bolt. The seat was bad since day one, it cracked and broke upfront and I think the stress of that crack stressed the right rear mount and broke it. I am going to try an JB weld it until I can find a seat and or mounting bracket. Any Ideas, think the JB weld will hold it for a while?

Thats what you get!! Bad Karma for being a lier!! I am still hella mad for what you did, steve. I can't believe that you actually feel like you need to protect me from shit when I was the one that even got you interested in the whole Mustang seen.
But its ok I see how it is. [BS flag]

If you're interested I've got a power driver's seat bracket I pulled out of my cobra somewhere in my garage, also have a set of black leather factory seats, in ok condition.

If he doesn't take it man let me know. My left rear mount twisted a while back and it just broke a couple weeks ago and finding a replacement has me looking at all new seats... I would try the JB weld since I think that will do it, but the pieces are actaully a bit twisted as well as broken.
Thanks man
