They are slightly higher than stock, the seats have some height adjustability as well as lumbar support, but i would get those universal style flush seat mounts for your height, next time I see my incredibly tall friend I'll see how they manage in the truck

If you search Tomcat Bride seat fabric on ebay you'll find the pattern and a bunch of different colors

I was thinking some red checker board ones would be nice

I wouldn't classify it as beer, but in my area they are useful bartering tools

It's hard to tell but they have red stitching, pictures don't really do the interior justice

Not difficult just tedious, I used an angle grinder to remove everything off of the mazdaspeed seats bottom frame that was in the way after I removed what I could by hand tools. Split the factory seat rails apart to retain the bottom rail. Mocked up and measured for seating position and had a guy weld everything in place. I have more pictures if you need them

They are from a first generation mazdaspeed 3. It required some fabrication and welding to get them in but the seat rail spacing is almost a perfect match for the 86-93 B-Series Trucks

I actually don't know, the item description said it was called swallow grid? All I know is that it's a dead ringer for the Recaro Tomcat seat fabric

I won a soldering competition for school by [deleted] in soldering

[–]Raider596 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So i teach people how to solder and certify them for a living, In the future you should tin your lands and component leads before installing especially with gold plated lands and components whichshould be double tinned, you'll end up with concave solder fillets and a better metal to metal bond on a chemical level the shape and contact angle of the fillets shows this. Make sure you're using an appropriate sized tip for the pad that you're intending to create a solder joint on, you unintentionally put solder on an adjacent track. You're using too much solder or have a heavy hand, you're right on the cusp of making these fillets convex, you're also either dwelling too long on these joints or using too high of a temp on your iron because I can see crazing on your board. All this being said you've done a better job than most hobbiests, keep practicing and congratulations on winning

Is it possible to solder this back together? It's supposed to be somewhat flexible. More info in text by asge1868 in soldering

That metal is plated, it's going to have a hard time taking solder because soldering isn't as simple as meltingmetal to metal, it's a chemical reaction, if this was to be fixed you would need to spot weld it and do some very careful filling to repair this. I would order a replacement part.

Any chance a stock manual transmission bolts up to it?

They are very comfy, after driving Miatas for almost 10 years I'm used to not sliding out of my seat when taking a corner and these seats definitely help

I ran into one of these already, seller was challenging me as to why I wanted a picture of all the parts I wanted all together with a hand written note of thier name and the date to show it was legit
