Re: Drivers seat

I actually stayed away from the Corbeau sliders after hearing your report of their flimsiness. Found a company that makes adjustable side mount brackets that bolt onto the ///factory sliders. Works great, and in my case I had to mount the seat in its lowest position (and laid the seat back) to fit my ogre-like proportions, plus offset it slightly to the side to clear the cage.
