Default Thanks all,

Bob, I think I've got the seats you describe, and over the years the threaded inserts have eaten up the wood. I then put a slider mount under the driver seat that also tilts the seat back, and same under passenger side without the slider mechanism. I bolted these to the wood and appartently the strain was too much, or the wood was brittle and the bolt shattered the wood at some point.

LMH, you mention a leather cover for the Kirky, but Toxaway mentions vinyl. As I recall, the cover Kirky sells is vinyl, or did you find a leather version somewhere. Also, on the Kirky, does the cover go over the back of the seat, or is the aluminum exposed on the seat back?

I was thining I might be able to get the Kirky, give a good upholstery place the old seat, and ask them to pad and install the leather from the old seat onto the Kirky. Any thoughts on that?

BTW Cracker - car is now running thanks to Bill P. I'll have to tell you the rest of the story some time. And, I still owe you that drive!
Thanks!
Scott
