That SUCKS! I bought all new seals for the front end on mine while I had it apart for that very reason.

Re: Josh aka greaslifes 86
Since I couldn't find a seal locally this weakened my A.D.D took over and got me here
Plan on doing cross bars between the b&c pillars along with a l from the b pillar too the b pillar brace behind the seats. I m thinking of a bar from the b&c pillar cross intersection for the rear seat shoulder harnesses then a seat frame too the b pillar. As soon as I get a chance I will show what Im Talking about.
Any suggestions ?

Re: Josh aka greaslifes 86
Use a floor plate, and do another down bar to intersect the kicker tube from the back rear corner at the same intersection as the rear seat crossbar, just my .02 cents though.

Re: Josh aka greaslifes 86
Looking good Josh.
I agree with Robert on the floor plate for the yellow circle. If you can take it through the floor to the frame there too. There's a body mount close by under that silver plate in the floor. Could be a good place to tie in.
And one more thought/idea is for the B pillar tubes - ones you have drawn in blue behind the pass seat. I'd go from the curve/bend in that one up at an angle to the upper bend where it hits both the horizontal and diagonal down bars to the C pillar area.
I can draw this for you if what I wrote above doesn't make sense.
This won't add a ton of weight or a tube that will really be in the way any more than what you have drawn, but it will add some support for that B pillar corner in a hard roll.

Re: Josh aka greaslifes 86
Here's the back all tacked up. I'm stoping here for now. That way I can come through the floor I will decide on that after my trip in two weeks.
