It took about 6 weeks for the new seats to arive. This was longer than the
three weeks estimated but much better than my previous Flofit experience.
There was 4 boxes, one for each seat and a 4th for the brackets and head
rests.
Everything was in good
shape except for a small chip in one corner of the console. ![](/aimages/articlestandard/chevy/252006/338066/console2-sm.jpg)

I really like the console and the large cup holes. You can actually put
something other than the standard pop can in the drink holder. The popup
lid gives room for change and other assorted small stuff that can be
reached much easier than the glove box.

The seats have a very simple mounting system with each needing a bracket
with 4 holes to mount it down.
So I start by stripping everything out. See the story on replacement
carpeting, as I decided to do this at the same time. I get the
brackets out and soon discover they are not even close to what I need. My
floor is basically flat and the brackets I had are made to mount to a
curved floor. So I call up Salesco and they say you should have specified
"K5 Blazer" not just Blazer. They give me the number of the
manufacturer, Eurotech, and ask me to call them for the correct brackets.
Well about two weeks lator and numerous phone calls I finnally get some
brackets that look like they might work, they don't. More calls to
the manufacturer and after trying to explain the difference I finally give
up and decide to modify the ones I have. I spent a whole day getting these
brackets modified to work, including a trip to the local welding shop, but
finally had working seat brackets. So much for the
20 minute bolt in. ![](/aimages/articlestandard/chevy/252006/338066/bracket1-sm.jpg)
