    would anyone know where I could get parts for the seat backs in my 58 A ? I need some of the O-rings and clips, also what to do about the straps. in one of my seats the straps are checked badly and I really don't want to use them.

    O-rings, where? On the pivots?

      inside the seat back are 9 O-rings about 2" dia. held together with small metal clips. then just below them are 2 rubber straps about 1" wide. these stretch from one side of the seat frame to the other to support the horse hare material. I have a complete leather upholstery kit coming from Autos International, it comes with foam pads to replace the horse hare but I will still need the rubber O-rings and straps for support.
      thanks Jay D.

        I just replaced them in my seat. They go in the seat back as support for the padding. My straps were o/k so I didn't source them. Maybe try autos international or K&H upholstery?
