Score! Set of seats for $45
Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 12:26 pm
So I was checking craigslist the other day and came across a set of astro seats for $45. That's 2 captains chairs and a rear bench all for $45. I emailed the guy and he said to stop by today. I checked them out and almost walked away from them. The reason I didn't is because the captains (what I was originally looking for) are the middle row captains with the seatbelt system that is compatible to my middle row bench. The only problem that I have with them is they aren't real clean. The front of the seats aren't too bad, it's mainly the backs that are in rough shape. So can any one recommend some good vinyl cleaner for the seats? There is also some fabric on the seats that could use some cleaning got any recommendations for that as well?
Now, before I bolt them up, can I just drill the holes through the floor and bolt them up? or is the floor going to require a little more support? Maybe I should have a plate welded underneath the van to give a little more strength?
As a side note, since all I wanted were the captains chairs, I now have a bench seat that I don't need. Free to a good home.. If anyone is interested, I'm in Melbourne, Florida.
