Beno in Atlanta got me the drivers side, new. Passenger is NLA but I found a good used one from cruiserparts.com in New Hampshire. The only thing wrong was the buckle slid to the floor as the double looped frame had half missing. No worries, a seat belt stop plug like this solved the problem. And a little work with the grinder to smooth off the broken plastic. Other than that the webbing, fit and color was perfect. My old ones did not safety catch upon rapid deceleration. Plus the webbing was decomposing.

Paint job looks nice, I should have sprayed mine down when I had it out this past weekend
Replaced the rusted/burst oil cooler. Replaced the cracked lower thermostat housing (and the thermostat, too, for good measure).
Oh yeah, and went full desmog. Haven't had the chance to really test it yet, but riding around the neighborhood, it sounds and feels SOOOOOO much better than before--and it passed inspection, to boot!

That looks great. What did you do to fix the cracks?
Thanks man. I used JB Weld Plastic Putty. It worked well on most of the cracks. However, on the cracks with less surface area, it wasn't as strong. If I were to do it again I would use a less viscous epoxy for the smaller cracks. Following that, I primed with Plastikote plastic primer, then top coated with Duplicolor Medium Gray vinyl paint, and Satin Black Krylon Fusion for the inner area. The medium gray is a real close match to OEM.
Too bad for me, I've got a brown interior. I wonder if anyone here knows of a good match for that.
Now THERE'S a money making project idea!

I spy mtb wheels in there! Do tell where and what (bike and trails).
Any chance you have a little write-up on what you did.. Mine is cracked in a few areas around the screw holes and I would like to fix it. Where did you buy the Plastic Putty and what other type of epoxy would you use?

Classic look. I love it too.
What are the details on that lift? Looks perfect!
