In a wreck the heavy seats are going to want to rip out of the floor. Even if the plates were on loose and not welded or bonded they are going to add something if underneath as they'd act as a giant washer. If placed on the top they will help with rocking or flexing from side to side, but not a...

I've used the panel bond adhesive on non-structural parts and it is good as long as the prep is done right and the adhesive is mixed properly with the special nozzle. In this instance though, if you aren't welding the support plates in but instead using panel bond I would be gluing them on the...

I would bolt in your seats before you cut the sides. I didn't, and when the seats went in and everything squished down (sound deadener and carpet) it pulled the carpet away from the sills. I need to re-do mine as a result.

I just tighten mine so they are tight enough not to come loose (I usually dab a bit of silicone on the threads as well to stop the nuts undoing). They aren't doing anything other than holding the seat to the floor in a static environment. If they come loose the worse thing that will happen is...

You're probably asking on the wrong forum. You'd get a much better response on one of Joey's other sites: Forofficechairsonly.com

50 years of fading in the sun?

Oh and by the way, that does SUCK! Why can't people take care?

I would try a Wax/Grease Remover - it should be in the hardware store, or maybe the auto store probably in the paint section. Then rinse with clean water.

What about a 4 point harness or similar that would attach to the seat frame? I have thought of something like that for my car (lap belts only) but I haven't investigated it further. You would have to have a strong locking mechanism for the seat back too. My car is a death trap with the lap belts...

I did the whole interior of my 66 Satellite and it weighed 44 lbs, but it's spread low and over a large surface area so it's not noticeable. It's not like putting heavy stuff just in one place - the other day I put 6 bags of premixed concrete in the trunk (264 lbs) and when I accelerated onto...

Well after looking at the prices including shipping (over $100!) I decided to make one out of some black rubber I had left over from another job. I had to clean up the tracks inside so it could slide without binding but it came out pretty good! Total cost $0, and 1 enjoyable hour on a Sunday...

That's the piece, many thanks

Hi, does anyone know what the exact part name is for the cover on the auto shift lever, that moves with the lever, and where I might buy one? Car is a 66 Satellite, the photo is a '68 but I assume was the same in '66. Mine is missing, just an uncovered slot that dust and dirt can get into. Cheers.

You could remove the bench seat and sit in the back. I saw Bubba Smith do it in Police Academy.

Be careful around the headlight full beam/dip switch, and obviously around the cut out for the shifter. If it's a 2 piece carpet which I assume it is, try to get your overlap correct so you aren't left short at either end. Under the door sills carefully trim the carpet so it overhangs the sill...

You really need the top tether for the booster/child seat as well as the lap belt theough the seat. If you haven't got a parcel shelf you can thread the top tether through the metal panel under the parcel shelf and attach to a bolt in the trunk. I used the hold down mount for the spare wheel and...

As long as it has a few coats of the color I would leave it as is. I'm not a big fan of clear coat myself, I've had problems where I've ruined stuff that looked really good, when the clear coat reacted with the color. Professionally done might be a different story, but for rattle cans I wouldn't...

It looks like you're doing a very neat job too - looks great in that footwell. Better than the job I did on mine.

I used about 4.1m2 in my 66 Satellite recently. It wouldn't be much more than that. I used 11 sheets at 810mm x 460mm. Cheers

I've actually managed to remove it with a small screwdriver after unhooking the adjuster spring. What a pain in the *** design - I can't believe I had to take the seat out of the car, and then still couldn't easily access it. I mean, it's a piece that is likely to get scratched and scuffed over...
