@@shawnlukecotton9214 send me your email and I’ll let him know
Thanks for this video. I bought the seats and tim waters sent the brackets today i cant wait
Oh awesome! Yeah I freaking love the seats! You’ll be happy with them I’m sure
Thank you for making this! And I love your friend
Great video brother, gave great insight to installing them before i decided to spend the money on the seats. Thanks!
Trent McCarty awesome man, glad it helped! I’m sitting in mine right now lol 😂
Got my seat brackets in from Tim. They look awesome!! He was fast shipping also. I strongly recommend him for the seat brackets.
Thank you so so much for this video. I have broken my back multiple times and find driving my car unbearable. I have been on the edge about buying 5th gen seats. However you really summed up all the problems i have been seeking a remedy to!!
Chris Brooker cool man, that’s exactly why I put these in! You can hit up Tim Waters on Facebook here’s the link for the brackets facebook.com/waterstrw
@@FireballMullet Thank you! I deffinently will get ahold of him!
I'm sad I can only like this video once. I just PMed Tim on Facebook. Thanks very much!
Lol thanks man!!
You made it so easy for me I was about to sell the 5th gen interior I have. Not any more thanks bro
Mario M awesome! Seats are amazing in these cars
Man those look like a winner thanks
I love them!
Awesome I’m n Tampa 2 and would love ur help to do this❤
How did you end up running power to them? Are you able to run them off an inline fuse to the fuse box or should you run a junction box from the battery
Thank you for the video. I also don’t like my 89 irocz convert seats. It’s not very comfortable. It’s hard making a decision which route to go . Your video help me make a decision, I want those seats you have on your irocz. Beautiful car by the way. Thank you!
Awesome, glad it helped! That’s why I do these. Thank you
I just got the brackets from Tim today for my 89 vert.. The brackets look very well made. Nice welds. Will try to get the seats installed this weekend and update.
@@jamesleventakis8695 awesome, let me know how they work out! It’s a pretty easy install.
@@FireballMullet do you have any info on the wiring for the power seats? Any assistance is appreciated
@@jamesleventakis8695 I just matched the size gauge wires negative and positive coming from the seats. I cut the large connector off and wired negative to seat bolt, and positive with an inline fuse to the fuse holder under the dash.
Nice!!! I did a dash swap out of a 6 gen looking for the correct adapter to install the steering wheel
That sounds pretty cool!
@@FireballMullet it’s on my channel check it out
Great video! I’m definitely doing this. How do I get I contact with Tim Waters for a set of brackets? And also did your car have a power drivers seat from factory? If so, did you just use the power from the original harness which is fused already?
Tim Wagner he is on FB facebook.com/waterstrw ... I didn’t Have power seats previous to these so I ran a circuit off the fuse box with a relay and a pretty heavy duty wire may have been a 12 gauge
@@FireballMullet would you happen to have his email?
Can you still get these? I got a set of zl1 seats for my 1991 and need the brackets
Does Tim still make those brackets? If so how do I get a hold of him?
This is slick, gonna have to "sit" in a few 5th gens now to see what my ass thinks. LOL Thanks.
Dave Barron LoL 😂 yeah my ass loves them
Hi, do you have an email or contact information for Tim to order the bracket set.
Thanks, Brian
Awesome! I’m picking up a pair of cloth SS 2015 seats Monday and sent a message to Tim. Any issues with the seat belt since if I recall correctly the third gen belts mount on the side of the seat.
Awesome! The 3rd gen belt receivers mount on the floor not the seat so that is fine.
@@FireballMullet awesome. I just got my seats and I’m looking at the bottom for those two wires. I’m looking at the main plug, it’s long, Looking inside I can see a thick red and white wire and a thick grey wire. Are those the ones you’re referencing? If so? How do I go about getting them out? Do I cut the connector off?
@@hoppstech I cut the connector off and just wired the power and ground wires. Then I heat shrink the remaining unused wires.
@@FireballMullet power wire is the red and grey is ground. I had factory power seats do you think I could cut the connector on that and hook in the driver + passenger wires to it? Or should I hook it in to something else?
@@hoppstech I think that should be okay. I went a little larger gauge wires and did my own harness but I think Tim used his stock power seat wires also. I do t know the different amp draw, I’d say go for it as long as it has a fuse.
I just bought 5 th gen seats for my gta and want to install them but i seen where you said a person you know makes brackets for them. I wish i could get in contact with him so i can install 3rd gen is bad ass
His contact info is in the video description
@@FireballMullet i did send tim my info i hope he contacts me thank you
I’m down to wiring up my seats. I’ve already tested the power on the seats using 16ga wire from the leads on the seat direct to positive and negative battery terminals. Seat works fine.
After running a ground to the frame of the seat and a switched wire to a relay (using 16ga wire) I get no power to the seat when putting the key in acc power.
You mentioned in the video to use 10 or 12 ga wire. Do you think that is my issue? The wire isn’t heavy enough to run the motors on the seat?
You should still see the seat work, the heavier gauge wire will only come into affect when the seat stops moving it could heat up. I will check that she really is good and then she got a good ground. Are used an eyelet ground on the Original stud for the ground
@@FireballMullet yeah I had it grounded to the side of the frame of the seat. Im going to use some 14ga (that I have in hand, instead of the 16 I was using) and ground it to the bolt that bolts directly into the floor pan later today. Hopefully that will remedy my issue. Thx
Hey, hoy did you solved this issues:
The seat can't run all the way back because it bumps with the seat belt cover.
The oe seat belt doesn't fit to the lock off the new seat. Thanks.
I don’t have that issue. I use OEM belt and receiver. It’s tight but seat moves freely. You may be able to loosen brackets and move the seat slightly
Did you give up any head room ? I’m 6’2” I’m close to the roof as it is but I want to put some recaro ctsv seats in mine .
I would say 6’ is Max, unless you scoop out the foam bottom cushions or something modified more severely
Question....got some 5th gen seats. Did you cut the big harness adapter off? Then do ground and power. I see your ground is going to the stud for the seat. I read the power went to fuse panel? Can you give part number for relay, more info on wiring these up? Thank you sir
You don’t need a relay, just match the positive and ground gauge wires to the seat wires. Yes I cut the connector off and just used the two wires. Just do an in-line fuse to your fuse box.
@@FireballMullet Thank you sir, really ready to have these in. What size fuse did you go with, and I assume you just found a spot in the fuse box that was hot when the ignition is in the on position
@@Hellmarors19xx I believe I used a 25 or 30 amp fuse... probably the 30
@@FireballMullet tried adding you on Facebook. Got one seat partially in. Running wire tomorrow for both seats. Did you have any issues with the seat rubbing against the seat belt mount ?
@@Hellmarors19xx Yes, I do, its pretty tight up against the seat belt, but nothing functional is wrong with it.
how can i get the bracelt needed to install both passeger an driver power seats. i need to buy the bracets
I have that info in the description of the video. Thanks for watching
Have you or anyone else figured out how to make the heated seats work? Thanks
I would just buy an aftermarket heat seat kit and install that. Pretty easy.
I cant find Tim either I tried all ways but im interested in brackets
He is on Facebook waterstrw user name. Big red truck in his profile background
Hey! Do you remember what color the main power wire was?
Yo currently doing this fid you ever find put the color wires and what fuse amperage did you use?
Hey Stan whats your friends info for the brackets I just bought a 3rd gen and im looking to install 5th gen seats
Search for waterstrw on Facebook, his name is Tim Waters
It's kinda hard to find him, what's the updated profile picture
@@victorvillarreal1669 he has a black puppy beside him, red truck background image
How did you wire the passenger side to work?
Same as driver, fused power circuit and grounded to seat stud
Did anyone taller than 6' have any feedback on these? I'm 6' 3" and have a no T-top car.
I would say that is too tall unless you have the cushions foam scooped
How can I contact tim, i cant seem to find him on Facebook
Waterstrw is his username
Hello, I have a 99 Firebird. Would the brackets also work for me?
Since 4th and 3rd gen seats are interchangeable, probably, but ask Tim
@@FireballMullet I reached a out to Tim. What year are those seats in the video?
Will a 2014 seats fit well for a 3rd gen?
That’s a 5th gen so my review applies to those too
Do you know if has brackets for the first gen floor to 5th gen seats. Also, just power and ground to the Milan to big wires and then evrything works? Thanks
Tod Peavy no, just 3rd gen brackets. Yep, that’s all it takes, the larger power and negative wires go to the switch, so all the reclining and tilt works!
for the brackets do they work on a 4thgen?
4gen is the same as 3rd gen
Did the back seats work too ?
nope lol 😂
have you done rear seat conversion?
No, I am leaving 3rd gen seats in there
How do I get a set of these brackets
There is a pinned comment above 👆
Let us see those t-tops because the first time I seen them was on your car
CaveMan 1 You got it man, I’ll post something up soon I just got them sealed from the rain LOL
Has anyone been in contact with Tim who makes the brackets recently?
I've been trying to get a hold of him, as I found some 5th gen seats. But I haven't been able to get a response from him recently.
I had spoken to him earlier in the year on Facebook, and I wish I would have just ordered them back then. I really hope he's still making them, as I really want to get these installed. Does anyone have a contact email address for him?
He just finished moving, I’ll send him a print screen if this, FB messenger is best
@@FireballMullet I got a hold of him this afternoon. Brackets have been ordered :)
@@caraudiocentral awesome man!!! They get the seats in perfect and pretty easy
Somebody put an order in for me, inbox me on FB: Eric Detailing or IG: @eclass_auto901
@@eclassauto901 I will send Tim this
Man I’ve been trying to find your buddy Tim and I can’t find him in Facebook
He has a red truck in his profile background... lives in GA now
@waterstrw
Whats the city so I can find him on Facebook
@@victorvillarreal1669 he lives in Voldasta GA but I don’t think he has that listed
I think I found him on pinterest its Tim Waters (Waterstrw)
I LOVE AMERICA
Hey I’m interested in some bracket, can you give me a email to get a hold of your friend I don’t have Facebook, I do have a Instagram definitely want to do this soon. And if you don’t mind how much are the brackets he sells?
Hey bud, unfortunately I can't post his personal email here. Hit me up on Instagram DM @fireballmullet
@@FireballMullet I just added you on IG flmautoparts is my user name
@@frankielozano9308 got it
Where did you get the brackets or did you make them yourself
Mario M see comments I mention where to get them... they are made my Tim Waters
Did you just disconnect the airbag harnesses and leave them?
Yes, I left everything disconnected except the power circuit
Na. Those seats would make me sit way too high. He's leaning back like he was on a sofa. That can't be comfortable. That's one of the problems with these cars. The window is too raked which gives you little viewing area out the front window. I'm going to chop my seats down and remove the sun visor to get it right. Great seats but not the right ones. Thx for trying though.
They are amazing for me, but the best part about seats is you can put whatever you want in your car lol 😂
