Home › Forums › Bass Cat Boats › Bench Seat to Bucket Conversion
I have read some of the old forum posts but didn’t see very specific info about installing the new bucket seats using the provided hardware. I have an 02 Pantera Classic DC and purchased new buckets and a third fold down seat. I received a lot of hardware with my seats (pics attached) but only 4 long sheet metal screws. I assume 2 of these go in to the back of each seat to secure it to the back of the boat but not sure exactly where the screws should go through the seat for the most secure placement. There are also numerous holes in the center fold down seat to secure it to the boat, but not sure which ones go in these or if I should use some that came out of my old seats. There are rivets included also and don’t see a need for those yet. I did purchase the seats with speakers and wondered if someone can help with how they ran the wires from under the seats to the console. Any help would be appreciated.
Man, I installed a new bench seat for a guy once. It was a chore. The rivets the sent us were for removing the pre existing metal brackets on the backs of the seats and then installing them on the new seat. It was definitely one of those measure twice cut once installs. And youll have to be quite crafty. As for the bucket conversion I can only imagine its going to take alot of fab on your end.
Yeah, it’s proven to be fairly involved as I ordered the 3rd seat/step versus the center compartment and also ordered speakers in the seats. From the info that I have gathered:
So far, this is what I know.
Thx Jeff
You are going to love those seats compared to the bench. At first it feels like your sitting too high but you will get used to it quick. About the first hard wave and you will see. I had mine installed so cant help with question.
