2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 16 way power seats installed

Finished making the brackets for my 16-way BMW power seats. Finally I'll be comfortable on long trips. Now I've got to design and build a better center console!

Pics and more info please, sounds like a nice conversion.

I got 'em at Turkey Rod Run in Daytona. They're camel color leather. Don't know what beemer they came out of. They have two separate lumbar supports. The seat angle is adjustable for the whole seatback or just the upper seatback, and the headrest is powered. But unlike Chevy's Silverado seats, they don't have power bolsters. It's pretty esay to knock the side trim with the controls off of the seat when sliding down out of the truck, so I'll have to weld reinforcement bars under the trim. You slide UP out of beemers, so they weren't a problem in their original application. The seat tracks are wider than the dodge tracks, so I had to build brackets to mount the beemer tracks on. I didn't drill any extra holes in the floor, so the original seats will bolt back in. So far, I only have the driver's seat installed because it's steadily raining down here! I'll take pics when I can.
