BIG THANKS for the pictures, Donkey! Very nice of you.

You inspired me to change out the front seats of my 27y/o Civic hatchback. After 250k miles, the driver's seat could use a refresh.

I don't have the metal forming skills to make the new seat mounts. But, I'll be having some custom bike work done this coming week, so I think the bike builder would likely have the skills and tools to make the new seats fit.

Again, thanks for the inspiration, Donkey!
