I'm thinking about replacing my stock 03-04 Cobra seats with some light weight aftermarket units. Unlike my old 5.0's that had the seat belts mounted to the transmission tunnel, my 03 Cobra has the seat belt attached to the seat slider/rack/frame.
What do you guys do about the seat belt mount when you install aftermarket seats??? Do you go ahead and drill into the transmission tunnel and mount them like the older Mustangs???
I was thinking about going with a "Cobra" brand seat that has a dedicated slider for the 99-04 Mustangs. Does anybody know if their sliders have a spot to attach the seat belt like on the original OEM unit???
Going with a seat brand that has addressed this problem would save alot of hassle and keep me from hacking up the Cobra's floor board etc.
Oh, and does anybody know if you can order the Cobra R manual seat slider racks by themselves??? And if so, would they attach to non-Cobra R seats??? Losing the driver's side power seat assembly would kill approx. 26 lbs...almost like upgrading to lighter seats???
03-04 Cobra seats:
Driver's side with slider & motor, ect....63 lbs, slider & motor. weigh 26 lbs!!!
Passenger side seat with maunal slider...43.4 lbs, slider weighs 9.8 lbs!!!
Thanks...
