put GW UCAs on a 67 with non-stock springs - but I don't see how the spring type should matter .... do recall a note with GW install instructions stating that the perches need to be reversed from stock orientation to accommodate the negative camber .... does this help?? ....

+1 on 2+2GT's comments .... I got "burned' with those 2257's even though I thought I was getting something else .... :bang:

fwiw ... Glazier-Nolan tech srticles have a decent discussion of the variety of motor mounts for SB/BB across the years .... for a '67, this area is problematic and most suppliers do not have the correct mounts ....

as a final note here .... yes, I will post pics and details of the seat back "restoration" .... I have already dug into it and, as you might guess, there is more devil in the details .... a couple of quick notes on the headrest install piece .... first, without any real guidance I mentally went...

jcode68 -- thanks for the compliments and interest in this saga .... I just looked at the TMI web page ( http://www.tmiproducts.com/mustang/browse-by-category/sport-seats.html ) and they call it the 68-69 low-back bucket, so they don't offer a true '69 product (believe the '67 and '68 are more...

quick correction .... I actually ringed down the entire side panels before relieving the pivot rod holes ....

the rest of the story is where "magic" happens and I only have pics of the final results ...... but once you get the first list anchored down, the rest of it should just be a matter of attaching the outer side lists (while ensuring that the corded edges come right to the corner of the foam)...

before installing the upholstery, I found it to useful to mark the center of the traverse list pocket (outer edge) as well as the center of seat foam list pocket (front edge all the way down to the bottom of the pocket (or slot or whatever its called) .... this way you can have a reference line...

next the foam was hog ringed to the seat frame by ringing the embedded rods to the newly installed seat lists -- one ring in each "window" .... picture shows the entire foam anchored to the frame .... if the seat lists have been properly located, the foam lists should be located more or less...

what I did here was to mark the back side of the seat foam to mark the locations of where the embedded lists are exposed on the top-side (see first pic in series) .... these "windows" were then cut out to allow me to see through the hole to aid in ringing the embedded list to the attaching rod...

this picture shows the seat frame with new listing rods installed to accommodate the location of the front (transverse) and side listings embedded in the TMI seat foam .... the transverse rod is located about 1 1/2" towards the rear and the sides are each inboard about 1/2" ..... I used 1/8"...

here's is the seat frame with the original burlap, etc. still intact .... the OEM list rods (paper covered) are highlighted with a red marker pen ....

OK, as promised if not somewhat tardy, are a series of pics of this TMI upholstery install .... here goes first picture is of the new TMI seat foam that clearly shows the embedded listing "rod" in the three listing pockets and of the original OEM foam (red glue patch and all) .... the front of...

TMIproducts -- thanks for the comments/info and interest ..... although similar, there are not so subtle differences for a '67 install .... the main "issue" to date that I have found (and this is not a quality issue as the product is, well, excellent !) is that the sport seat kit for the fronts...

I will check with the shop manual -- good idea :oops: .... agree with what 2+2GT states EXCEPT for 67 front seats -- the foam has no embedded listing wire .... so when done by factory supplier, the upholstery was hog ringed through the foam and to the paper covered rods attached to the springs...

OK, sounds like a good idea as this knowledge is worth sharing .... from what I know, 68 OEM seat foam had embedded listing rods, so when you tear yours down, how this was done will be readily apparent .... CJ Pony's site has a "tech articles" page (link at bottom of their home page) that has a...

figures .... I just now finally got a TMI rep on the 'phone and confirmed that the seat foam is indeed first hog ringed to the frame/springs (attached to the original listing hold-downs) and then the upholstery is hog ringed to the embedded listing rods .... that all makes perfect sense, but I...

I'm now ready to replace the OEM upholstery with TMI's sport seat product ..... as usual, 67's seem to be always just a little different .... the OEM seat foam was anchored to the frame with the hog rings that anchored the upholstery listing wires along the sides and front of the seat insert...

very nice looking ride :nice:

Poppymod posted this previously, but this "study" is worth a hard look (see http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/index.html and the companion opinions article http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilters/opinions.html ) ..... this guy went to great lengths to tear down a large...
