    Shinpachi, thank you for the compliment on my work. Also, thank you for being honest with me. :) I will work on that. I hope you have the opportunity to see the car one day. It is in Japan (near you, I don't know?) the owner Takehito, attends car shows there on a regular bases. So there is...

    Guess I forgot to take good "finished" pictures of the seats when they were done. I did see some pics on "Just a car guy". But I didn't want to repost his pictures without asking. So you could look for yourself, if you want. Search "Just a car guy, zero seats". Here is a pic I found while...

    Has everyone lost interest in this project? Just a few more details and we are done. The ID tag, both seats. Pass. side is "flipped/reversed" so that the tag can be seen when the door is opened:

    Coat hangers??? Any dimensions on coat hangers? Spinpachi, looks like you are 240 miles from Yokohama? Would it be a big deal for you to travel to Yokohama? If your interested, you could see the seats you have helped create.:)

    In case your wondering. The Spinpachi blueprint called for these to be at a 12 degree angle. So that's what I did. Speaking of Spinpachi, ...you still out there? How far are you from Yokohama? A lot of work into those little seat belt brackets. Not perfect, but I think they're pretty...

    Thanks, glad your liking it. Here are the square seat belt brackets. Still needs the coat hangers and ID tags. Maybe something more with the seat mounts.

    Ha GregP. There does seem to be a good bunch of views on this thread. I was hoping for some comments, suggestions, whatever. How far is Yokohama from Osaka?

    Well thank you GregP, it certainly was not all me. The work was a team effort for sure, and the research here was all of you guys with so much detailed information that it's amazing. I'll post pictures as we go along, if there is any interest?
