Here are a couple of pictures of my custom cage and custom seat brackets made to accommodate a new pair of Summit seats from Summit Racing. I made the new brackets to fit with the stock jeep seat brackets found on 76-84 CJ's.

Seat brackets are made from 3/16" x 2" flat bar.

CAGE

The rear cage fits with a soft top. I measured the rear of my old soft top inside top to bottom, inside side to side, inside-top front to back, and inside-bottom front to back. I have about 2" between the top of the rear cage and the soft top. The hardware for the top fits perfectly.

My new cage was completely built by me, no bending required.
I used most of my old cage for the new one.
My center bar is the stock one, I just cut all the old spreaders off.
My old front hoop is now the rear one, it is shorter, turned around
backwards, and welded to the rear of the old center hoop diagonal supports.
The front hoop and spreaders are a new Smittybuilt kit from Capital Jeeper's Supply in Sacramento CA.
I bought a piece of 2" .120 wall tubing from Reno Salvage for the rear spreaders.
The bar behind the seats is two of the old spreaders cut down and welded end to end. The whole job was made much easier by the purchase of a "Joint Jigger" pipe notcher that I bought from Summit Racing here in Reno NV.
