I ran a wire straight across and it worked just fine. Im sure there is a logical reason for it because the factory would not use an extra part or two if it was not needed.
Yep, that's what I ended up doing. I installed them in the car and it seems to work just fine.
Interesting though, the dimples in the passenger side floor where I drilled the holes for the buckets worked out perfect (I first measured to make sure they were correct). However, the drivers side was off by at least 1/2" +. The measurement from the door to the outer holes were exactly the same on both sides. The dimples near the trans tunnel were off. So, I went off of the outer holes and measured over for the inner holes. Gotta get the little weld plates in there now.
It worked out but I thought that was interesting as the floors appear to be untouched originals.
