[FC] FC Bench Seat Upgrades

[Joel Rushworth - Morton-Clarke Victoria]

David,

If I was to have it custom done, I'd have it made with a sport size "bucket"
area for my butt with a little side boltering, then a shorty arm rest off
set towards the driver, (it would have to be short or it would interfere
with shifting) then a flat "half seat" size area (for the dog) and then
another sport size bucket area for the passenger.

As for the new Accel Cable.....  It is working SWEET!!  I'm going to see how
light a spring I can use with it and still get the throttle blades closed
because the new cable is so smooth is contributes almost zero resistance.

Regards,
Joel

Joel,

Any competent upholstery shop that caters to Street Rods can readily modify

a modern bench seat to fit and function in a Greenbrier / Corvan.

How is our new FC Accel Cable functioning ?

David



What do you want to replace it with?  I've seen stock bench seats recovered

for as little as $500Cdn.  Your other option would be a seat of the rare FC

Bucket seats, and I know a guy that has/had a set for sale up the coast from

you.



The other option I've been playing with is finding a nice rear bench seat

from another vehicle that measures up to the same size as the FC front bench

and then transfering the foam and covering to the FC frame.  I dunno if it's

possible, but it might be worth a try.
