RE: A990 seat brackets

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, well here's a little grist for the mill... I thought I sent a reply to
this the other night but it must not have gotten sent before my laptop
expired with a loud SNAP.

It seems that recently someone on here mentioned that the seats were made by
Bostrum, and were as used on the A-100.  Besttop makes a seat that looks
similar (not exact, but close enough for most 50 year old memories) and
sells them through Summit and others.  They're listed in the Jeep section.
Here is a link (which will probably not work well, so search
Summitracing.com):

At one time they were available in vinyl, but I see only fabric now.

There are photos of the seat brackets on this site featuring the restoration
of the '65 "Texas Rattler" car.  Great story on this one...

Anyway, hoping we can come up with a set of drawings - have a couple of new
CNC machines to play with and am ready to go!

There is a drawing of brackets in the 1968 Dart and Barracuda Hemi Super
Stock Authenticity Guide, but it is, of course, for the 1968 Dart and
Barracuda.  My guess without measuring is that the brackets are different
due to differences in the floor pan.  

Does anybody have a copy of the 1965 A990 Authenticity Guide lying around?
Hopefully there is a drawing in that guide as well.

Can anyone provide accurate dimensions of the aluminum seat brackets used on
the '65 A990 cars? I want to fabricate my own.
Thank you
