Reproduction Seat Backs
 

Are pretty terrible compared to the originals. Like a piece of paper. Easily half the weight, texture is off, and the indentations are different. Just saying. I'm going to hang on to my originals and see if I can have them repaired.

Find yourself a nice pair of originals, there are lots out there and not too pricy, either.

I'm actually looking for a pair (in black if I had a choice). Do you know of any?
Also trying to locate a good set of seat tracks w/o paying $500 for a rebuilt set from Corvette America.

go to the parts section and post a WTB for the parts you need.

Will do... thanks!

I also found the repops to be poor quality and not close to original.
I couldn't find any at Carlisle this past year. I sent back the ones I had ordered and refinished (filled in cracks) and repainted my originals.

I agree with you. My originals were cracked, so I ended up trimming them around the edges and usinig them inside the reproductions. It gave some additional weight and strength to them.
