Info on Edinboro seats

[*EdC*]

Anyone out there got a set of late 60's MFG seats? I'm looking for the Lounge seats.... Not to be confused with the Sun 'n fun seats. I know for sure, the '67 Thu '70 Edinboros all used the same setup.
Lastly, If you have a set that are installed or just cant part with, I sure could use some photos and measurements of the seat boxes. Any help guys, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank Ken!

The seats with the rear handles are the Sun 'n Fun ones. They're really cool. But I'm looking for the standard lounge set up. Actually, a couple of good photos and measurements of the seat boxes would be a great help. I could build my own.

While I was over there I signed up. Now I just need to wait for the email confirmation. I like the jet drive MFG he has listed!

Sorry about the slight thread hijack Ed, but I couldn't resist!

Re: Info on Edinboro seats

Quite all right Guys

That bone yard looks interesting! Ken, Yep! those are the seats! I guess I should have called them back to back lounge seats..... Do they have the fuel tanks under them? I located an original tank for my Edinboro, and need to confirm the dimensions for new seat boxes.

Thanks Guys

Bob, I'd be interested in any info you could share on the whereabouts of that place.


PS. More on my restoration soon!

Do you fish? I am in northern Vt - don't know where that yard is but if you are actually coming I might be able to go fishing if you are interested and my schedule will permit.

Re: Info on Edinboro seats

I don't know where it is in VT. I'm still waiting on my confirmation email from fiberglassics saying I can post in the forums section. Once I get it I'll send him a PM and ask if I can come "wander around" in his salvage yard. If he let's me, I better take my little truck so I can't tow too much home. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything.

Do you fish? I am in northern Vt - don't know where that yard is but if you are actually coming I might be able to go fishing if you are interested and my schedule will permit.

I'm going to MA for two weeks at the end of July, so I'd definitely take a sidetrip up to Vermont from there to do some boating and fishing. Let me know.
