Will Dodge Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I came across someone that made repro seat frames for the Weasel and do not know what I did with the information. Anyone have a lead for seat frames? Thanks! Original seat belts or reproductions? Advice please. Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Welcome aboard Will. At this point, I don't know of anyone making either. Russ Morgan still had some seat backs last time I spoke with him. I think @Jesse Browningmade some of the seat attachment brackets or you could fab the seats...but beyond that... As for seat belts, I think you are going to be searching. If you look around the aviation world, there are some very similar type buckles and any of the canvas suppliers can make the actual belts.... Patrick Quote
OZM29C Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 @Patrick TiptonPatrick, would Mike Howard https://www.libertyar.com/ be worth contacting about seat backs. He used to make them? Quote
Will Dodge Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Found these? Vintage Style Racing Seat Belt Quick Release Eyebolts - S&C (sportsandclassics.com) Anyone have a closer photo of the seat belt and hardware? Thanks! Edited March 11, 2021 by Will Dodge Quote

Jesse Browning Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 The belts show up on ebay from time to time. You gotta do a lot of searching and hope you find them before another weasel addict. Quote
Jesse Browning Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 BTW, we dont make seat backs. They dont look too complicated, and we toyed with the idea once, but moved on to other projects. Quote
M29 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Talk to Alexander on the seat backs. I found these seat belts a while back on ebay. Not exact color as original weasel. They were not cheap although they are NOS. 1 Quote

Will Dodge Posted March 12, 2021 Author Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks for the info. I messaged him and have fingers crossed! Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I spoke with Mike and he and Rob Walsh are working on some too. I don't have a price, but will give you an update as soon as I hear. Quote

Prc148 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Dave Yamuilla makes them or had a batch made of the seat backs. Quote
