Just go buy some flat stock steel at Menards/Home Depot etc. Make these into adaptor plates. It works pretty slick and saves time and money. I spent $12 on steel from Menards and made adaptor plates to bolt my Corbeau racing seats into my Camaro using the factory seat brackets.

Place the steel pieces over the bottom of the Jetta seats, mark where the holes are, and then drill accordingly. Then place the steel over the Contour seat brackets and mark the bolt holes, again drill accordingly. Then tada, you have adaptor plates to bolt your Jetta seats to your Contour seat brackets. It works better to actually measure out the distance between the bolt holes on the seats and brackets for an exact fit.

Take some pictures when your done.



That doesn't sound too safe if you got in an accident...





I did this with 01 celica seats in an 01 ranger and i rolled it twice into a ditch and the seats were fine. and the passenger and i were somehow OK too.

I tack welded the steal 3/8" plates to the brackets that were bolted into the truck, then pulled them, welded them up. then welded the seat sliders onto the plate out of the truck. its very simple.
