Well, they're plentiful in the San Francisco Bay Area. 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.
