Punctuation is your friend. Use it.

I'd check the classifieds.

I don't know when the seat size changed, but that is a later '60s seat and he's looking for a '61. Might have size issues.

that's what I was looking for in the ad, couldn't find any detail other than "60's" which of course doesn't help. I can't tell any difference because I've never seen a seat up close from an earlier car, but without him measuring it I guess it would just be a guess.

upon further searching, found this (and it looks to be different than the later-styled seat)

I saw that one but what i need most of all is the hardware. The seats are a dime a dozen but i need all of the pices to go with them, but i really apreate it.
