The engineer for the right side didn't talk to the guy for the left side.

Look under the car under the seats might be somthing one side has that isn't on the other.

 

the seats sit at an equal height, and hte floorboard is an equal height for both sides, its just 2 totally different mounting systems

Your probably on to something about hte engineering input htough

Here's a thought...

Maybe that raised mount on the driver's side is supposed to act like a dam. When a driver slams on the brakes in a panic stop, all that crap the average person shoves under one's seat wouldn't come flying out and jamb up under the pedals.

Naw, that can't be it either.

 

Great thought, but my problem is when I do actually have to hit the brakes that hard, there is so much crap, it comes right over... ha,ha
Seriously though, that is the only reason I can think of too.

Later!

Do unto others as you want done to you!
If you pack it in, pack it out!

 

that was my buddys theory, the owner of the sami, it keeps cans from rolling under the brake pedal and screwing things up!

strange engineering feature

the passenger seat has to slide further forward to allow entry in to the back seat

 

I noticed that it moves farther forward also, but it could move farther forward and be built the same way as the drivers seat right?

Since we are on weird seat questions , why are my leavers to let the seats tilt forward in the middle of the car , ie not on the door side . Makes getting in the back anoying , I thought they were just swapped until I looked under there too .

Maybe it's just a carry over from the SJ410 model. My 1985 SJ410 has the same set up, but the seat dosen't slide foward at all, the whole assembly tilts forward to allow access to the back. Just a thought.
