thanks again, *

Yea, the backs are attached with "double end christmas tree fasteners" I have yet to find any place to purchase them as most of mine are broken. The seat is the part I have questions about.

flounder the bottom seats are mounted to the consol , there is a piece of 5/4 x3 mahogany that is bolted to consol and the seat just sets on the 5/4 and is held down with a stainless steel wing nut

Wing nuts...thats what I thought. That answers my question brother. Thanks. I'm off to the upholestry store tomorrow.

Wouldn't treated 3/4" plywood work best for remakin' seat backs/bottoms?...that's what I made my under-dash bulkheads and seat-boxes out of in "99 ... time and water have had ZERO effect on 'em ;) ...


And tell your upholsterer you want him to use STAINLESS STEEL staples ... Lowes has 'em ;) no ''runnin' rust" staple stains 8) ...

My feeling on treated plywood reel is that it delaminates quickly and seem to buckle if you dont nail it down quick
