Prunsen wrote: I have made some fine extension-brackets for the drivers seat in my 2005 Jimny. I'm 2 meters tall and really needed some space for the legs. When brackets are mounted, in the original holes, the tracks under the seat, are moved 70mm's to the rear = That's enhancing the comfort for me as a driver sooooo much - it's really like a limousine !!
They are made of solid steel, on a plasmacutting machine and painted black. Both the front brackets are supplied with a screw in the extra pin-hole (like the original brackets), for extra security.
All 4 of them are easily mounted in max 30 minuts.
I have sold some complete sets to UK residents already.

Note: the brackets on the photo are the prototypes, made by hand

Is that just flat bar at the front??, so the seat weight is just hoovering.looks abit weak.
Would be better if there was some kinda metal box underneath.

# jimny5 : I know it's solid, even my own weight (125kgs!) are not affecting the stability of the construction. They are made of 6-8mm solid steel, and will be electrogalvanized instead of painted.

# iloveics : You are definately right about the missing mud on carpets

So far, my Jimny only eats tarmac, but hope to try the "real stuff" soon.
