Anybody running a backseat with a Quadralink?

Admittedly I was torn as to whether this should be in interior or suspension section :).

Initially I thought the DSE Quadralink would preclude me from having a backseat. Then I happen to notice that DSE says you can still run one. I can't remember seeing anybody with that setup though. The builds here that I'm aware of don't have backseats. Anybody running Quadralink and a backseat? What mods to the seat frame are necessary?

The G-link was at top of my list for this reason. However, I think the Quadralink has the advantage when it comes to routing large exhaust pipes up over the axle.

Thanks,
John

You can definately have a back seat with a Quadralink. I had to narrow the seat frames 3" I believe for the mini tubs and had to notch a little under the seat frame for the upper pockets.

I just finished modifying the back seat frame to fit with the Quadra-link and mini tubs. All that is necessary for the Q-link, is a few small wires near the upper four link brackets need to be cut a re-routed. The minitubs are a little more involved. Its not a difficult job to do, just a little tedious.

Thanks guys. Good to know it is possible. Hopefully the same applies if it is used in a Nova :)

For narrowing the seat after a mini-tub you might check out:

That is the best rear suspension IMHO, even if you have to cut a little off the seat.

Also look on the DSE website under DSE Projects.

Look at the DSE 1969 Test Car.

It shows how they cut the seat frame around the QL brackets.

Good luck.
