I started a thread earlier in the year looking for advice on seats.
Lots of great input here. I ended up getting everything from AH Spares.
As shown in the pics below, my metal frames were in pretty bad shape. New one's can be had for about $400 a seat ($150 for the bottom and $250 for the back). There's no way I was going to invest an additional $800 in these seats.
I ended up saving the existing seat backs with some JB weld and some aluminum. The bases were recreated from wood. After I built mine, I found that the Austin-Healey 100 had the same seats and the early ones were wood .
And the final product...
The flash made the vinyl look shinier than it is. I'm very happy with the products from AH Spares. The dash and door pockets are next. Vinyl by the yard is not listed on the AH Spares web site but they sell it for about $20 if you request it. Shipping from the UK is EXPENSIVE, But total cost from AH spares is still a lot less than Moss.
Lots more detail on rebuilding the seats on my blog - https://doanfamily.net/blog/
I really appreciate all the help and support here at BCF.
