1. Is there anybody out there that reproduces these seats that would sell me the
three bent tubes so I can weld them on myself.
2. If I have to make these tubes, what is the measurement of the space between floor and seat frame on an original seat.
Thanks fellas.

If I have to make these tubes, what is the measurement of the space between floor and seat frame on an original seat. The bottom of the seat actually tilts back. It's not parallel to the floor. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,252 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!!

I tried putting it in and it seems it is too large at 56 inches. What width was the original back seat? I may have to chop this one up.

One hour of our 0.75" per hour of rain would have been a lot of snow.
