Actually, even with these plates, the drivers side is off center by an inch or two. Moving it to center slides the seat off the frame. I don't mind so much it being off center, sort of feels right to me.

I also needed to put some washers under each seat so the factory sliders didn't hit when used. They work flawlessly now. I took my time drilling out all the welds holding on all the mounting brackets instead of just cutting them off.


$300 for the pair and $130 to ship wasn't bad. Kept an eye on Ebay for awhile. Cloth ones are going for about that same price now and then. I'm trying to locate a vinyl dye that matches that same brown to do a little work on the back. Will post if I find one that looks good.

 

I didn't get a pic of the drivers side, but its the same, just added a couple washers so the underside of the seatpan cleared the mounting bracket when sliding back and forth.
