"Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up"
To those guys that are thinking of installing a smart mount backrest on your Mustang seat. The first steps is to kill the mustang. Just kidding no mustangs were harmed while do this install.
Very nice !!! That mustang seat is a very good looking seat. How is the comfort? The stock seat is not very good to say the least.
For the ones who asked about using the Smart mount backrest on your Mustang seat here are the measurements. I'm sharing with you what I did you are responsible for your modifications. As the above quote states first down load and read the oem instructions on mounting the smart mount backrest. You can find these on Wing Stuff. The only modifications I made was to the arm of the backrest by adding 1" of flat stock. In the picture below you can see the piece I added was a little over 1" and I had to cut some off for it to work. It will bottom out on the off set in the seat. I measure 18 1/4 " from the rear tip of the seat and made the cut into the seat (first mark was the 17 5/8" from rear [measurement used for the Utopia backrest mod] second 18 1/4"). I measure the cut on the stock seat were I removed the smart mount and it is 18" from rear.The oem instructions or right on for the rest of the install. I did make a cover for backrest bar out of some leather using a couple of snaps.
Modifications: Weld 1" piece of flat stock to backrest bar. Place bar into place and mark using the holes drilled in seat. Drill bar and tap for bolts.
Note: Careful drilling through bottom of seat you can drill into the seat cover.
I hope this will be helpful.
Thanks Crazyhourse. I know every seat will vary in measurments but just to be clear, you measured and cut the slot 18 1/4" from the rear of the seat. What is the 17 5/8" measurment for?
