[fe66comet]

Looking for floor brackets and sliders, not sore what other years fit? Need right and left pairs Thanks Jon

Look in the NPD Mustang catalogue..have a feeling the ones there might work ($75 a side)

The Fairlane/Comet bucket seat brackets are little stands.
There are three stands on each seat, two are about 2" high "front" and one is about 1" high "back outside", the fourth bolt goes through a raised spot on the floor.
Not easy to find the stands. They are just thin sheet metal and very prone to rust.
Not sure if Mustang sliders will fit on the bigger bucket seat, maybe?

I guess I could once again make them.

Stands can be replicated with min amt of ingenuity. 

Suspect (admitting I haven't yet tried it) that the only potential difference with the sliders might be the length of the securing bolts that go through the floor (2 per slider, four per seat, eight in total).

Driver side power seat mechanism  in the '67 Cyclone is completely worn out and 'effed up.  It is also HEAVY, like battleship anchor heavy.    Consequently, plan is to go with 67/68 'Stang manual sliders sold by NPD.  I'm going to say the bolt issue -- if it exists -- can also be easily solved with local talent.

If the sliders are totally incompatible I'll just send 'em back. Will keep you posted.

Ordered the 67 Mustang seat brackets from NPD a few days ago and they arrived tonight.

DRAT.  They're about a half inch too short and floor bolts about a half inch off to be a perfect match for the original Cyclone items.

So there's going to be some hot-rodding to make the things work

Other than that, nice parts.
