Product Description
Fits 1981-1988 Monte Carlo, Regal, Cutlass, Grand Prix, and Malibu.
This kit is for one seat.
These brackets are designed to bolt directly into the seat slide bracket mounting studs of all G body cars. They are made of .188 thick 5052-H32 aluminum for superior strength.
On our test car we reduced the weight of the car by 42 pounds by installing the Kirkey seats with these aluminum brackets. It would be even more if our test car had power seats.
These brackets have provisions to be bolted into the OEM studs (on the floor) in three different positions. Seats are mounted by bolting directly through the sides of these brackets using the factory nuts which retained the factory seats. Bolting the aluminum seats through the side bolsters and seat bracket is the most effective way to mount an aluminum Kirkey seat. This method places the seat to the bracket in shear, which is the strongest way to mount the aluminum Kirkey seats. We recommend using at least 3 quantity 5/16 bolts through each side of the brackets spread out as far as possible.
The design allows for more position adjustability than the factory seat slides allow. For example, the seat can be mounted further forward, rearward, lower, or higher than the factory seat.
For installation: place the brackets into the car. Bolt them down. Then place the seat into the bracket. Determine if the seat brackets needs moved forward or rearward. Adjust if necessary. The seat can be moved all over, forward, rearward, up, down to get perfect positioning for the driver. We set stack 2x4 blocks of wood on the floor and then place the seat on top of them then have the driver get into the car. You can get the drivers hip joint at least 2” lower with these brackets than you can with the factory seats. Once that perfect position is determined mark the location of the seat to the bracket. Remove everything. Then drill holes and bolt the seats to the brackets.

Seat brackets
So glad I went with these. Bolted right in, I’m using 17.5” economy drag and had zero issues. Shipping was fast, plan on using 269 for a lot more parts in the future.
