    I checked the Ace Hardware site and couldn't find it there. I think they mentioned Home Depot carried it also. I'll check there next.:)

    Don, my local automotive paint supplier carries it. You might try them too.

    Looks good! Those look to be 94-04 Mustang seats? What seat tracks did you use? What did you have to do to mount them?

    hard to see what i done but basicly i flipped the front hole to the opposite side of the track and cut the rear leg off and moved it forward and angled it so it was on the factory holefor the outers.Since it was a bench seat car I retained the stock inner tracks and fabicated spacers for the mounts 1-1/2" for the inner rear and 1-1/8 for the front inner tracks the outers mounted with no spacers
