late 2nd gen floors the same? - Lateral-g Forums

Looking at Wedge Engineering's website, they only list having seat brackets for Camaros. Are the floors the same between the Camaros and Firebirds through the years? If so, is there any other reason the brackets might not work for me in my TA?

Thanks

Not sure exactly what years you are talking about but the second gen camaros had a change around 74 or so. Can't say that the firebirds are the same.

I believe it's 73 that the floors were changed. I'm just not certain if the floors were the same between the two makes for the same year. Meaning, will seat brackets designed to fit a 79 camaro work in a 79 TA?

Thanks

75 was the change over in the camaro due to the catalytic converter, not sure about the firebird. I don't have any late 2nd gen cars to measure but seems like someone with one should be able to measure theirs for you.

Firebird's floors changed as well due to cats in 75'

Thanks guys. I've emailed Wedge and am just waiting to hear back at this point. I prefer to verify stuff like this on my own before ordering.

I am however having a hard time swallowing the $400 price tag for two sliding brackets. They look nice but $400 is $400. I got the tracks for a mustang with the seats. I'm going to see what I can do to make them work in the car. I did some measuring and mocking up today. The tracks will work but I'll have to make new mounts. I'm confident I can do it. I've got people that can weld everything up for me. It's just going to be weird bends etc. If not, no big deal.
