I bought 1" aluminum square stock from Home Depot and used as a spacer.

I had to be there of course to sit in the car so we knew where the brackets got welded to the seat and where i wanted it.

I tied my seat mounts into the chassis also.. but I dont have a stock floor pan... and I see some that just mount the seat flat... tip that seat back so it supports the back of your knees.. makes it much more comfortable and your legs will thank you

I used button head bolts through the seats so I wouldn't feel them. Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
