The bucket seats I have in my Spyder are a natural for the FCs they mount on 
a center pedestal and are VERY thin at the edge. I will post pics soon.

>> Hello All:
>>    Recently purchased the 65 van that was on ebay.  I have had various

>> cracks.  What have others done for alternate seats?  The van has two
>> benches in the back and the one bench in the front.  I would prefer a
>> bucket for the driver & passenger and will likely recover the rear
>> benches.  Any other suggestions for a new FC owner?  PS I am in need
>> of a windshield so if someone has one email me off list.  Prefer it be
>> in Canada but..........
