[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 1620050, member: 25546"] Thanks for this thread [USER=30294]@Torchy[/USER], I installed the "Straight Ahead" kit today. They changed a few things that aren't even in their directions. All brackets are the same length now, the seat belt one is the same length now. This is a nice kit, well made, heavy duty materials, does what it's supposed to do, which is give you a little room behind the rear seat. A few tips I learned if someone else is going to do this kit. You had mentioned that you had trouble tightening the extension box on the drivers side. Get a set of Torx screwdrivers instead of using just the bits. The shaft of the driver is the same size as the T25 bit so it slips right through the hole in the extension box. Makes it easy to tighten. FOR SURE move the wires under the carpet on both outboard sides just in front of the seat mounting bolts. I'm not sure what they are for, but if you don't move them, those wires will get crushed for sure. They are held in place with plastic wire holders that plug into the floor. I popped them out and put Second Skin over the holes and used a strip of same to hold the wires in place. Decide how much travel you want before you start tightening the extensions down. The new carriage bolts are in a slot that can give you between 2 inches and 3.25 inches ahead. Once you tighten the seat mount bolts, the new carriage bolts are too tight against the floor to move any more. I went with the minimum move, so you just move all the bolts full rearward in the slots. I would suggest either full front or minimum front so you can be consistent with your bolt placement without driving yourself nuts. The last thing I learned almost bit me in the ass. If you are doing this by yourself, which I did, be careful of the female end of the seatbelt that sticks up through the middle of the longer rear seat section.
