    I got some Moab seats the other week and started 2004 Taco DC driver seat install. Problem is how to connect seatbelt sensor to the new bracket from corbeau. I see it's plugged to the old frame via a clip and before removing it I wanted to make sure I didn't break anything. Anyone done anything similar with driver seat? Any recommendations on how to proceed?

    I've got Corbeau Sport seats with their brackets. You should be able to unplug that connector and unbolt the seat belt receiver from the stock seat frame. The receiver will bolt onto the Corbeau brackets. You'll likely need to get some new, shorter bolts.

    If you want to retain the ability of the receiver to move back and forth, you'll need to make or buy a bushing of some sort. I went to Ace Hardware and bought two brass sleeves and cut them to size so that they would fit inside the hole. Mine ended up looking like this:



    turbodb goes in depth with the work he did to make the receivers work with the Corbeau brackets, definitely worth a read:

    I’m looking at the Moab seats as well since they’re the only ones I’d be able to afford. How are you liking them so far?
