Hi Everyone,

Had a quick search and did not find any info, so I will ask away!

Nissan GQ 1989 model. Rear inside mounts on both Drivers and Passengers Seats have cracked/torn through.

Just wondering if anyone has fixed this issue. Apparently it is not common but I have owned two GQ's now and both of them were knackered! haha Guess I am just lucky! (Did not fix the old one)

So just wondering how what would be the best fix of someone has come across this...

I will post up some pics...

two ways maybe ,grind the top back and put a cap over it and re bolt the mount or just mig the bracket back on

Cheers Roofy,

Sounds like a good plan. I will have to pull them out over the weekend to have a better look. A lot of guys have just said to weld it up. But I want them to be removable, as I hope to get some aftermarket seats soon.

Cheers

not sure I've read the 'photo right. J don't think those rusted/fatigued/busted mounts are a loose/spare part are they? Thought they were a prefabricated part of the floor pan. Is that so?
"Lookie"
the toughest part in the weld up will be to get the new thread welded to the new plate at the precise height and position to meet the seat bolt.
Good luck. On mine the split occurred in the seat slide and that was easy.

Depends if you're DIY or want to pay for good fix. There is a tool, like a pop rivet gun, but pulls like a nut into pre-drilled sheet metal. If you can find someone with one of these it is the perfect fix.

Sorry for my reply
Didnt see the photos when i replied
So without photos my reply was based on "Seat mounts cracking"
Not busted asss metal fatigue in the floor

So lookin at the pics
Clean it all back to bare metal,and weld a plate over the top then drill to suit
