BTW, that hood looks like crap. I'll come get it soon so you don't have to find a place to store it.

I had not made or fit the upper core seal, and I was running a mechanical fan with no shroud. I have since installed dual electric fans and the temp never goes above 190.
Thanks, I look forward to it.

I already did mate, it was in a post not long after this one was started. Hang on, let me see if I can find it.

I didn't write an actual paper, I just outlined how I did it. There were too many steps that I did not document for me to have put together a paper.

It was like that in the auction and that's part of the reason I got them cheap. The stain resembled a white mud of some kind, like maybe a rag or towel soaked with mud was put in that seat while it was still in the wrecked car. The stain is all but gone now after a good steam cleaning.

I had to modify the tracks of the seats by cutting off alignment pins and the rear feet, and I had to drill new holes for the outside mounting holes, and I had to cut off the side panel trim brackets under the E-brake cover. The side panels still stay on with the middle and front brackets so no big deal.
They are a tight fit, and because they are so wide there is no sliding adjustment. They are all the way back all the time.
That being said, they are the most comfortable sport seats I have sat in.
