Ok I know the M170 seats are very rare. Does anyone have specifications on the seat frames or photos? I would like to try making my own frames.
What do you experts think about that?
Thank you,
Bill

I don't have the specs yet myself, but I'm planning on fabricating what I need. I have partials of both seat frames. Need to fab the seat back for the driver's seat frame and the bottom seat frame for the passenger seat.
When I finally get around to doing this, I will give you what details I have.

I'm under the impression its the same tubing used in the M38/M38A1 seat frames, but I'll have to check. Unfortunately it will be a while before I can get around to that...still overseas currently. If its the same tubing, I was planning on cutting down some spare M38 seats I have.
