    Scored a pair of leather aftermarket seats.

    I say aftermarket because I haven’t looked up who makes them nor did I ask the seller. I know he bought them for his new mustang.  The seats came with seat tracks and all I had to do was open up the front holes to a 14.5 centerline and the rear to 14.25 centerline. The tracks have home locations at 11 inches which is the front to rear measurements of the mounting holes.  My son is 6’ and hit fits well.

    Is it me or can we not post pictures anymore?

    The look of the seat backs isn't my cup of tea.  Of course, I understand they are made to hold harnesses so if you need that then they look perfect.

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

    Ehhhhh......disagree.
    Sorta gives them a 'race-car-look' IMO.

    Leather, or vinyl (leather made for those nauga-hides)?

    Yes I want a four point harness. After seeing the red car loose brakes and crash, four pint it is.   Leather is the material not vinyl.

    Of course the red car losing brakes was his own fault for driving with brakes that he had to ride.  That crash was the fault of being stupid and ignoring the symptoms of a car not safe to drive.

    Totally agree and it’s the direction I’m currently looking at with four point belts.   May need them on the track anyways.
