I built the bracket myself. It wasn't that big of a deal. The issue I had with the master craft mount was the location. There was no way to make it work with a family of 6 ft plus people! My boys are 6'2 and 6'4 and only 13 and 15 years old. They needed some extra room. When I built my mount I moved the seats back about 6 inches. The head rests' actually touch the roll bar. That gives the boys enough room to be very comfortable.

Not very difficult at all. I didn't use a set of front buckets, but there wouldn't have been much difference. It was an afternoon project, the key was using the mastercraft brackets to get it started.

That is a an amazing and very useful mod.. I found a couple Chrysler pacifica captains chairs and they look identical to my front seats and want to do this. How did you mount them to the Mastercraft brackets?
