Re: (ET) replacing torn seats

[David C Robie <mycroftxx1 juno com>]

You don't really need the proper spacing as it's easy to take out the ol
drill and drill new holes in the tractor batt cover.  One of my seats
comes off a gas tractor that I found on trash day awaiting pickup. 
Stopped the truck, pulled out the toolkit,  took off the seat and it's
mount.
