I have a '73 but want to replace the backpad and passenger's seat with the early pieces that are non tilting (not important) and with the back section integrated. I haven't started hunting for the pieces yet but is there any reason it couldn't be done? What probs may I encounter?

Well, the passenger seat is a compound seat where the ass fitting part is bolted to tub via 4 bolts that stick out of the tub. I don't know if you have those or how the current seat rails are attached though. That back part sits in the backpad.
If you have the four protruding bolts I guess it should be easy to retrofit.
Don't have any pics, could take them this weekend though.
With the exception of not being set up for the seatbelt, the backpad would not be a problem. It might even work with the seatbelt retracter in there. The seat bottom won't fit with the adjustable mounts in place. You'll need to grind those out, and put in bolts or studs to attatch the early seat bottom. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who likes the look of the early seat.

Andy, do you still have the old pad..I'll still need to buy one. Yes, I like the look better although seems most would prefer the newer look. I think the earlier set-up is more minimal looking.

Doug, I have an early style pad and seat...pad and seat back are nice, the butt part needs center covered.
