I don't mean to derail the thread but I have a question for Gary. What are you using for a shifter knob, it looks odd in that picture.

Thanks! The seats and covers are foam/new canvas that I got as a set from Beechwood Canvas a few years back. There are no springs in any of it; I'll just have to post a picture of the um, shift knob, as it's a hacker holdover that I've yet to fix....
