[QUOTE="Tom of VA, post: 67471, member: 492"] Yamahlr, You will need (4) bronze bushings and (2) steel roll pins (also called tension pins). Remove the chrome brackets from the smuggler and use a vise to press the roll pins into the bushings. You will need to grind the left side bottom pin to match the pin length of the stock rear seat. (There is a cable which passes directly under the pin hole in the frame, which requires one side to be shorter). Then reinstall the chrome brackets leaving them just snug so you can move them. Once it all lines up, remove the Smuggler and tighten the 10mm bolts. The new bottom side pins should go right into the frame holes and the top pin will go into the holes under the front seat just like the stock passenger seat. I bought the stuff at Lowes. It took a week to find the parts and 5 minutes to press in the pins and stall the Smuggler. It fits snug and can be swapped as fast as you can remove a side case.
