 |
|
I am still trying to find complete or partial seat frames for my M170. The driver's seat is priority, but if anyone has a lower portion of the passenger seat I'm interested in that as well.

| Thanks Wes, will likely get the top bows from him. Still need seat frames, they're the most important item as of now (Drivers>Passenger). I will probably have to make something if nothing shows up. I've read about using M38/A1 passenger seats and early CJ5 seats. |

| I'm looking for seat frames also. Hoping to find someone willing to have their frames measured so I can fabricate new ones as finding originals for sale is pretty difficult. |

Seems to be a common problem with seats missing from the M170s. Mine are gone too. |

| Would be nice if someone with the tooling made a few reproduction frames every year. Doubt there'd be much money in it, though. The cost to produce them would probably eliminate profits considering the limited (though very pointed) demand. |
