    Lyrad, I have a bunch of buckets, but they all need recovering. I got lucky and scored Fiero seats with the speakers in the headrests last year, and I think I'm heading to the salvage yard Sunday... I'll keep my eyes open for you if you want.

    Bills66, I really like how clean the floor and ceiling look! Great job!

    Lyrad, They are miata seats , I got them for the width and the fact that they are not to tall. Bonus is they are extremely comfortable ! and they are easy to find in great condition. Bill

    BILLS66, Van looks Supa! I still do not have my Van back yet.
    Did you use a dual master Cyl?
    They tell me they needed to use a single because they couldn't fit a dual without major customization...

    The dual will fit by just cutting the bracket, not really a big job???

    Vanadian the dual master works well with an auto tranny ...with the 3 speed on the column the shift rods hit the top of the master...I had the same issue....had to use a remote fill reservoir....it is mounted under the drivers seat easy to reach and check fluid levels. With any of the dual reservoirs the bracket needs to be cut as show in the prior pics.

    Bill, What did you get your seat belts out of? Looks like you have a major bracket welded in there. I checked around the forum, there a lot of different mods on this. I'd like to stay alive, I never really thought about shoulder belts. It looks slick with that panel nice work. Got any pix of the install?

    Vanadian, Here is an old pic, I believe the belts were out of a late 80's suburban . Bill
