There's a fellow in Richmond who owns more than 30 of them. He frequently has a line on parts of all sorts. Good bet he has a line on seats for those seriously considering a swap. I bought some Merkur Scorpio 15" alloys from him to bolt on to my buddy's Vanagon. You can find him tooling around in a white XR4ti with a 351C Ford V8. BenT San Francisco |
