Willcox. I received my mounted leather/vnyl oyster seats last week. Talk about quality and fit. I could never get the install quality of what I have now.
Best I have ever seen. 4" bolsters look great.

Man i hope you guys had better luck installing them than me. the seats are great but i can't get the back hooked in the retaining clips. The bottoms are a piece of cake. I've tried every combination and tried compressing, squeezing, forcing and swearing. I thought i finally had it and when i went to put the seat back in the car the back cushion popped right out. I haven't even attempted the drivers side yet. The new cushions are a lot fuller and stiffer than the old ones and I'm having one hell of a time. I'm open to any suggestions...

Who is this "Willcox" I see talked about here? I would like to price a set for my "81"
Thanks

From my brief experience Willcox seems to offer very competitive prices and good service. I'm sure others here have more experience and knowledge regarding vendors.
For what it's worth,I got the cushions in finally. I was being stupid and didn't bother to check the spacing between the retaining clips and the rods in the seat backs. once I measured and adjusted the rods they went right in.
They look awesome and look 100% original.

I bought both covers and foam from willcox, dropping them of to a local shop next week, $65 a seat.

"the last detail" has vewry good prices on the foam and the leather seat covers. They are in Georgia 1888lastdetail. I bought an engine wiring harness from them that was much cheaper than anyone else and it was sent from M&H in California. I couldn't get the harness cheaper from M&H! Quality was very good.
