Norval, Thanks for the Seat Stud Thread
I seem to be taking the seats in and out of my '79 regularly for one reason or another. I always wondered why GM didn't use studs. It is a great idea and I'm going to install studs to make R & I a lot quicker.

One place that studs really work well and that is the valve covers.
Get long 1/4 inch set screws and put them in the head.
You then slide the gasket over them, it holds the gasket perfectly and then slide on the cover.
Works really really well.

My 78 has the interior out, just back from paint in December and I am slowly putting things back together...along with a few side trips of 'while I am here'.
I had the opportunity to see Norval's seat studs, roll cage, brakes in person. I live 10mins from his shop.
Pictures do not do his work justice...got to see it in person. I will be installing the seat suds for sure. It will be so nice to be able to quickly pull out a seat for those trips under the dash....even to reach the fuse box.
