Looks like a perfect fit. Very nice

Its cool that you will have the option to only take one seat out if you only have one kid with you so you can have additional room for gear.

It was a bit of a tight fit, the space between the fenders is 36", each seat(frame width) was 18 1/4". Massaged the fenders with my favorite hammer to make them fit.
The original van had the seat mounted with Ubolts welded through the floor. I made u shaped brackets out of square tube with a 3/8" bolt across the mount to make them still removable and no welding required.
Sitting in them is very comfortable, and will cover them with black seat covers, becca test fitted a standard bucket cover, a near perfect fit.

Looks great man! And i'm sure you could sell the old seat for much more than the new ones cost if you wanted to. Nice!

Just a thought....are you gonna pad that roll bar so it doesn't take passengers teeth out in the event of a sudden stop?

Victory Circle has a couple kinds of roll bar padding for that bar, they're on Mt Vernon south of 58.
