Side Mount Seat Brackets

Hi All -
I am putting a side mount seat in my car as a last ditch effort to lower my seating position. I will be bolting the brackets directly to the factory rails (no sliders).

I went on line to get brackets and found there are two types: one is a single bend at 90 degrees, the other has two bends with an offset to the outside (see pics). Which one is preferred for my 77?

It almost looks the mounting holes are the same - one just has additional room to get a wrench in there.

Thanks!

90 degree:


offset:

Hope it is not considered rude to bump this. I would really like to place my order as soon as possible.

Anyone have any experience?

Thanks a ton -

Can you post your findings? I will be going down this road in the near future. I assume the 90degree bends just give a little more width for a wider seat? Thanks
