My 62 has the rear heater below the center console, so we didn't have to remove it, but we removed it to clean things up regardless... the front heat is plenty.

I found mine on marketplace and they were pretty minty... the guy I bought em from just bought some with lumbar that he was replacing his with. I happily took them off his hands and bought the pigtails for the seats on ebay for $25 and the pigtails for the seat heaters for another $40...

That h55 is a great upgrade. I went through the same decision making process on seats and ended up sending my factory seats to Zack at Nomad Cruisers in CO Springs and he rebuilt the bottom and backs with 3 diff levels (soft/med/firm) of memory foam. I’m extremely happy with them

Looks great Jimmy, I would like to consider doing this. Do you know if he does this for anyone…and what his lead time is once he gets the frames? @CenTXFJ60

Thank you guys. And yes, Zach will do this for anyone. It’s one of the many skills he has in cruiser restoration. His mud name is

His turnaround time for me was a few weeks back in the December timeframe.
If you swallow a live frog first thing in the morning, the rest of your day will surely go easier.
,Window channels are similar, after the purchase, if they arrive, it should go pretty smoothly.

Rolled through 55,555.5 miles on the odometer while going ~55 miles per hour in a 55 zone (if towing). Not quite as cool as @cruiserdan with his 222,222.2 pic from his 80, but someday...

I posted this in a different thread but thought it might be helpful for the main 60 group. While rebuilding this most recent t-case a friend @iansplatinum pointed out that I did not install the washer/spacer under the hi/lo shift selector. I’ve built a few cases so understand the risk of dropping the selector rod into the case. Also, I always put the washer back on the selector during tear down. Brain farted on this job and did not do that. During a conversation with @POTATO LAUNCHER he came up with a great suggestion to stick the welding wire to the tip. With my welding skills that’s easier said than done. Typically happens when I don’t want it to do so. After a few attempts it dawned on me I could tack a piece of hanger to the top. Problem solved and the washer is now in its final resting place. I’m sure this has been done before but could not find anything via a google search.
Dang it Jimmy, now I’ve gotta go make sure my washer is there…

Not for 62s. I believe you are able to keep the rear heater for late production 1985s and newer 60s. Check Torfab's website for details. I second the BMW seat swap. Best thing I did since I bought mine new from the dealer....

LKQ parts is a great source - nationwide searching, fixed shipping rate whether the next state over or across the country. They will confirm condition before they ship. Be sure to ask them to cut the harness on the body side of the plugs.

@CenTXFJ60 Maybe you're not all buttoned up, but isn't your speedo cable too close to your exhaust pipe?
Pretty sure they sit much higher up.

Yes sir. Good catch. The clip that holds the cable on the DS of the case was not there. A zip tie or other method will be used to eliminate any risk of the cable running too close
excited to put a few of these to use this weekend. This is a great assortment from a company in Australia
- High Tensile 8.8 grade.
- Premium Zinc Coating thicker then standard
- Washer & spring washer attached to every bolt. *more expensive to manufacture but saves alot of time.
- OEM JIS bolt heads
What’s the name of this company in Australia?
Oh that's exciting
