Here is what I have done lately 11/09. I finally got the photos done, there are more to come.
Because we used a ford aero star van third row seat, the seat cushion/ padding is thin because it is the third row seat. As mentioned it fits inside the stock AD frame. After going to the upholstry shop the fact I needed to bring the seat heigth up by about 3'' for my wife Caroline was so see could see. It also helped me w/ clutch & brake operation and I'm 6'-3''.

I made four extensions to re-locate the seat higher.


I will take the seat back to the upholster and have the cover re-made, extra padding done to contour the two main driver/pass. sides, hand pump air bags for lombar support and add the electric heated pads. I also used julieanna's [???] shoulder harness but need to make the belts longer by 16'-24''. This seat has the seat buckles built into the seat frame so I will have those lengthened by 6'' or so. I will have to cut down on the stock seat top tube/rail to make the seat look stock. I will also add 4 holes and weld in tubes so I can add headrests to the top tube/rail.
More photos later.
