Part question

I need to replace the brackets that are welded to the floor pans that the seats bolt to. I am re-doing my floors and the brackets are rotted out. Does anyone know if a company sells them or do i need to fabricate them? I wouldnt even know what to call them to search.

Re: Part question

from what ive seen in 2nd gen cars they are referred to as floor pan braces but nothing seems to come up looking for 3rd gen floor pan braces. And after market floor pans don't seem to come with them so someone must make them

Yes sir I have seen them on our forum some where. A third gener had just replaced his floor pans and he had those new braces laying on the new floor pans before installing them.
