These started life as standard 2 door seats. Allan Marsh used to modify them back in 80’s he’d extend squab fit side bolsters then re cover completely in sheepskin with just rubber underneath. Idea being you could remove the cover and wash. Used them for years but am now going for a more modern look. But yes these are built on standard seats.
Looking good .. worked on some exteriors still waiting on seats ( you can’t hurry a craftsman imo)
Haven’t fixed the gas tank issue , that is next on the list will follow your advise
Will keep posted
Cheers
Tony

When does parts lottery stop? [emoji51] Turns out my new Pertronix distributor is faulty. Of course it’s out of warranty as I brought it 3 years ago. Symptoms were hard starting, misfire above 2500rpm, poor throttle response and Low vacuum. Contacted manufacturer who stated that if wiring was ok, they either worked or didn’t run at all. Nothing in between. With a timing light on it would advance normally until 2500rpm then advance would drop to zero. Long story short fitted my rebuilt Lucas today ( done by Performance Ignition in Nunawading) and its new engine. Starts immediately crisp no miss. Can’t drive it yet as am swapping out seats [emoji575] photos to come when done.
Some years ago I had one fail exactly the same way on a customers Nissan Patrol, had to go back to points. Never bought another one.Quote:

Good service was happy to deal with them again.

Washed car got seats sliding what a PIA you have to adjust runner closest to transmission tunnel to square up with the seat [emoji51].
But a nice day car clean and running really well so my daughter had to test it [emoji106]

Now you have stepped the game up to that point ..................... Your going to have to make the roof lining door trims and carpets match the quality of those seats! :banana:Quote:
