Are those arches the same radius as first gen Forester? I've got left and right rear arch cuts for my red Forester from our Colorado adventure that Roy was gonna grab but I dunno if he's still interested.

Also, do you need free seating? Because I've got a pair of Dodge 2500 van bench seats that are comfy as gently caress and would make great shop seats, but I gotta ditch them. I'd rather give them to someone who can get good use out of them than scrap.

I'll hit em with a tape measure and let you know! They're the quick release kind - so all you'd need to make mounting brackets is the right diameter round rod stock and some angle bracket to weld it into. They also have at least a couple seatbelts and/or buckles built in but I can't remember the details on that.

Tan cloth.

I've got a couple grey 95+ XJ bucket seats too but I doubt you want them... Not very comfortable IMO.

The one I just measured:
55.5 inches across the widest point, would crush inward a few inches no problem if that's too wide. It feels like the frame is about 53-54 inches wide right at the bottom back corner. It has 3 seats worth of seatbelts, shoulder belt on the driver side, lap belts for the middle and right. Would only need to install the quick release post bolt on the driver side B pillar to have full belts... Or pull them off and forget it of course.

I'll measure the other one when I get a chance.

Any chance you measured for the bench seats? No hurry, just wasn't sure if you forgot. I'd love to see them go to a good home instead of scrapping them.

Don't forget I might have a spare alt for you, too. I'm not sure where it would be but I'm looking for it when I dig through parts piles.

I should be around... I might be heading to the hangar later in the day, you're welcome to come there too if so. Hoping to get the fuel and electrical done on my truck.

I have no idea if this applies, but don't some alternators get their sense or excite voltage through the dash bulb? It being an LED may be related.
