    only one tilting seat bracket -Passenger or Driver?

    My seats came with only one tilting bracket. Should it go on the drivers side or passenger side?

    thanks,

    Harry

    I think you will find it more useful on the passenger side.

    interesting. I would think drivers side since I drive it slightly more solo than with a passenger. OK i'll go with passenger.

    just curious, why did you find this to be the case?

    while you are sitting in the driver's seat, buckled in, the back seat can still load and unload.....plus you want the more robust mount for the driver's seat, no hinges, no moving parts
