    used Corbeau driver's side seat bracket - exc. condition

    I measured from the middle/center of the outside holes of the seat bracket. It was 15 7/8 inches side to side. So if the sliders were relocated to the outside set of holes, that would be the width as the middle of the sliders' holes align with the bolts that hold the sliders to the bracket.
