dasbrick Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Will the bolts line up for an XJ's seat bracket in an MJ? My mj's bracket is rusted all out, was thinking of just using some scrap metal to fill the gaps, and lengthen the bolts of necessary.

dasbrick Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 yeah the seat to floor bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 doubtful. the XJ's floor is much flatter. :dunno: but I guess anything is possible with enough fabbing. Keep in mind that the MJ bench seat floor brackets are identical to MJ bucket's floor brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Here's a couple of links out of the DIY section that should answer most of your questions. Making XJ buckets work in a MJ Bucket seat restoration and repair. :cheers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM/78 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Considering you have an older style floor bolt pattern , I would do what mfpdm did . Much easier to fit . Newer style MJ's are allot harder to bolt in . I had to mod. some stuff no matter what . XJ floor brackets are allot easier to find as well .

dasbrick Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 i just don't have the vises, and tools to do all the work needed to follow that walkthrough. Plus, reading through it again, you still need the MJ brackets, which mine are quite rusty and flimsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM/78 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'd give you my 92" bench floor brackets , but I don't think they will work on the older bolt pattern . :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbrick Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 if they do work, and they will accept a bucket seat, i will take em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM/78 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Maybe someone knows more about it than me . I'm the class :dunce: around here just yet . I got tired of looking for MJ floor brackets . So I did my own thing . Used a set of best top TJ seats and 95" XJ floor brackets and went to town . You can see the bolt pattern a little better in this pic .
