A good friend gave me a set of the rear seat braces (just the braces) for my T Type. They are the bolt on ones. Does anyone have instructions as to specific mounting point or bolts to use? Does the rear seat need to come out for install? Any special bolts needed? I intend to put a truck liner kit in after the install, will there be any issues?

If I recall correctly (been a long time) the rear seat does need to be removed. About half the holes are already in the body & the other half need to be drilled.
Here is the link to Kirban's with a few pictures: http://www.kirbanperformance.com/product/283/REAR+SEAT+FRAME+BRACE+KIT+#1586.html

Thank you very much for the instructions! Any idea as to how long the 1/4" bolts were?

Questions, if you remember? Did you spot weld the end points as well? I ask because once installed and covered I will never know if the holes got elongated from anything coming loose or moving? Did the bolts go in from the car side or trunk side?
If it is not necessary to spot weld I will not and install just using bolts.
Thanks

I put the bolts in the holes with the threads coming toward the trunk, i just installed this last weekend. On a 1 to 10 this is a five. Not to hard but you have to work in the trunk and drill the holes and then tighten everything up. The best part was finding all the crap under the back seat. I dont see the need to weld, but i dont see why you couldn't if you like. Just don't catch your ride on fire.
Thanks
