I am planning on replacing my seat backs, does anyone have any recommendations on where I should get them, what to look for, etc?

I know when buying replacement parts, new stock or reproduction you can get into a lot of variations. I would really love to get a NOS, but not sure if they are around anymore. 

Try watching Ebay or you can try a junk yard.  Here's one:

Here's a set on ebay.

The reproductions are abs plastic instead of the original fiberglass and in my opinion actually fit and look better than the originals. Bought a set for my 78SA because one of the originals was cracked. Found a NOS shortly after and changed them back, even tho the repros looked good. Anyway, I've a set of repros in dark blue I'd take $40 + shipping for. I also have ONE very nice original fiberglass back, also in blue, also for $40. All of them can be painted if wanted.  Mike

Please, consider them sold Mike (the pair). I'll PM ya . aceinthehole2007-06-12 11:13:42

Jimmy, JOEMOD hasn't been back online since he posted this thread.  Let me give him one more day to respond if he might want the seat backs, as I did post about them with him in mind. Otherwise they're yours if you want them, I'll just send them and you can send me a check when you get them. I'll let you know Wednesday nite.  Mike

PS, why not sell the L82 emblems to offset the cost of the backs? I really don't need them, they'd just go in my box-o-parts!

Thanks for waiting for me, but no send them to Jimmy. I think I am going to take your suggestion and go with the repro's. My interior is red and don't want to paint.

Where did you get the Reproduction set from?

Thanks as always,

[/QUOTE] Got them from Ecklers a few years ago. See them listed in their catalog for $44.99 EACH in choice of colors or $35.99 in black. Pretty much all the vendors sell the same ones.

Jimmy, I'll put them in the mail tomorrow.   Mike
