Thanks, I am definitely going to get them over the winter.  Please send me the information on the dealer you used.  I see there are quite a few different prices out there.  You can email me direct if you don't want to post adams69camaro@gmail.com.  Thanks for the help.  I really look forward to having "comfortable" seats.  Did you install yourself or have an upholstery shop do it?

Thanks for the information.  The only other question I have is I have read where the new seat foams add about 1" to the seat height.  If so, does that bother your headroom too much?  I am 6'4" and my head is right at the top of the windshield already in my convert.  Mine is the black/white houndstooth pattern.

Yes, stock look with better bolstering.  You can see them at http://www.tmiproducts.com/chevy/

Anyone done a TMI Sport Seat conversion in their 69 Camaro?  I must be getting old because my stock, custom houndstooth seats are not comfortable for long cruises at all. Thinking about doing the conversion this winter.

So I know the purists will kill me but an outfit called TMI makes a "sport seat" modification that uses the original frames and gives you an actual comfortable seat.  I have not done it in my car yet but I plan on getting a new set of seat frames and turning them into the sport seats so I can retain my originals for show and also have the sport seats for travel.  None of the original 69 seat bottoms I have had over the years are very supportive when rebuilt to stock configuration.

 Also for anyone interested, there is a seat rail extender you can get to attach that will give you an extra 2 inches of leg room for either the driver or passenger or both.  They are an original part you could get installed at a dealer in 1969 and are available from Performance Years INC for $59.00 a set.  Well worth it if you are over 6 feet tall. (I am 6'5" and the extra leg room really makes a difference in my 69)

Thanks Ed, that is what I thought just wanted to make sure.  Appreciate it.

Originality / 69 Rally Wheel Center Caps

For a 69 SS or Z-28 with the 15X7 Rally Wheels for 4-wheel disc brakes, should the wheels have the flat "disc brake" center cap or the standard "derby caps"?

Maintenance / Alternator Belt 69 Big Block without AIR pump
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:29:28 AM »
Anybody know the correct alternator belt for a 69, 396/375 without air pump?  Just water pump, fan and alternator with deep groove pulleys.  I don't see one listed in the restoration parts books.

I have a L-78 "copy" car we built from scratch, not an original.  I will never represent it as an original but I was just curious if anyone know how many originals were built.
