(x6) 7/16" lock nuts
(x2) 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolts
(x4) 1/2" nuts
(x1) 3ft of 3/16" x 1.5 steel stock
(x6) stock mounting bolts

jig saw / hack saw
wd40 (drill bit lube)
wrenches/sockets
Overview:
S2k seats sit ~ 2" lower then stock seats
to raise the seats use the steel stock to make six brackets
the smaller brackets are for the front mounts
the larger brackets are for the outer rear mounts
Bracket construction:
to construct the front brackets cut the steel to length (depends on desired seat height) and drill a lower 10mm (stock bolt diameter) hole
the upper hole needs to be offset from the lower an amount equal to the height u want to raise the front of the seat; this is a 7/16" hole
the rear bracket size will depend on the height of the seat
the higher it is, the shorter the rear bracket
follow the procedure for the fronts to fabricate the rears, drill two holes, 10mm and 7/16"
to help the drill do its dang dang use penetrating oil, or wd40
also progressivelly drill the holes from small to large to speed things up
i sanded and painted the brackets to prevent rust, thats your call if u want to do that
Install:
start with the rear inside mount
this is the only hole on the stock S2k brackets that will need to be enlargened
place a 1/2" nut (raises rear of seat) btwn the floor and the seat bracket, then a 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolt with a washer through the top of the bracket
the outside rear mount is where the long bracket is used
align the floor’s mounting hole and the smaller bracket hole, then the larger hole with the S2k's bracket hole
secure the stock floor mount to the bracket with a stock bolt
place a 7/16� lock nut below the fabricated bracket, then a1/2" nut between the fabricated bracket and the S2k seat’s bracket, then a 10mm x 1.25 x 1.25 bolt with a washer through the top of the S2k bracket
the front brackets bolt up to the stock floor mounts using a stock bolt through the smaller diameter hole in the fabricated bracket
the fabricated bracket then bolts up to the seats bracket with a 7/16" -14 x 1.25 hex bolt and a 7/16� lock nut
driver side / pasenger side of drivers seat
the distance between the S2k front mounts is ~3/4" wider then the distance between the stock floor mounts, one of the fabricated front brackets needs to be angled to make up for the diffrence
also the angle of the S2k seat front mounts is lower then the stock floor mounts, the S2k brackets need to be bent down
finally connect the seat belt indicator plugs beneath the seat
Results:
better brackets could be made by bending the steel to raise the rear of the seat
u could also bend the front brackets to match the lower angle of the S2k mounts
