    Hey Guys,
    I was wondering if someone could post a pic of the material in the center of the 71-72 Grabber bucket seats. Was comfort weave available, or just the cross hatched looking pattern? Thanks!

    Corbin-
    I have seen the cross pattern inserts and fabric material in the inserts.
    I may have some pics on the laptop, but not here on Cristina's desktop.

    I'll look and e-mail them if so.

    Seth, thanks. Pics would be great whenever you have the time.

    Mav73 - Thanks for the pic! That is great help.

    So basically they could come with the comfort weave or cloth. Nothing else? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking of doing some fabricating and putting factory buckets in my 70 Grabber. My back seat is perfect so I was wondering what insert materials came stock in the buckets, in hope that one of them might match my backseat. Knowing the info I do now, it looks like I'll have to just have the back seat pattern swapped for comfortweave (unless someone has a black comfortweave back seat for a 70-71 that they would trade/sell me). Where can I buy comfortweave material if I have to reupholster the rear? I'll go with the Mach I front upholstery kit. What do you guys think/any suggestions? Thanks!

    I think I have some rear seat upholstery out of a 1970 Grabber. Maybe there is enough to upholster the buckets with. Email me if interested: cselvey@netdirect.net

    Late.....

    ...but as promised.

    You don't see many of the cloth insert cars. That is why I have
    kept the pics.
