|
|
So after getting a pair of stock white vinyl front seats, I need to weld in an inside drivers side rail on the tunnel that the P.O. cut out. Would my best bet be to find a parts car? How complicated would it be to fabricate?
Thanks in advance

Pretty easy click here, enter your credit card info and address, and then wait for it to show up in the mail. |

Be veeeery careful positioning those before you weld. Make sure nothing else is bent, lightly tack it, then fit the plastic runners and such to be sure it's not pinching anywhere. Then go ahead and weld the rest. |

Unfortunately he probably needs both sides. I'd try Mike Fisher and see IF he has a set. If not contact Joel (aka Boo-Koo-Z). _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Okay thanks. I only need the one on the inside tunnel. I’ve seen a jig to make the two rails lined up correctly. Is that something that needs to be done? I’ll look on the classifieds for a rail. |

Going off your pic above, you've got enough to locate a new still there. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof
