    Time to start a new thread to document the progress of my maverick.
    Bought from the Dennish family , Limeworks Speed shop, in CA and imported to England by myself, June 2016. Suspension bushes re-newed , parking brake, horn, washers and various electrical gremlins sorted, problem with vac advance, not sorted, it runs better with it disconnected. Its time to think of doing the fun stuff now,m so I got hold of some material to repair and re cover the seats.....I need to save up to get my upholstery guy involved next 001.JPG 001.JPG

    001.JPG 002.JPG Got the seats out ready for repair, I noticed that there should be some sort of trim covering the seatbelt mechanism , I also think my alloy tread plates are the wrong ones...they are not shaped at the ends to match the door step....any ideas folks?

    Those sill plates are correct.

    No way to replace the cover on the seat belts without cutting the cover....or cutting the belts.
