Re: CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
I saw those Bestop versions, goodness they are expensive but would
most likely be as good or better than the originals! I also saw some
offered by Omix-Ada which were less expensive. However, not being
able to actually inspect them in person I am wary of buying something
useless!
Mine old ones look brand new, but the pivot points are wallowed out
which lets the seat wobble around too much for my taste. I would be
paranoid of buying used ones, because when I removed mine from the
Jeep they appeared to be ok. It takes the weight of the passenger
and seat to show up the worn pivots!
Thanks for the advice folks, Bruce

Re: CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
I've seen both. OMIX are ok but lightly built. They are made in China, ie
less quality, inch measurements converted to metric to build from then built
by slave labor. Besttop are as good or better than OE. If you can find
stock on Ebay go for it. I'd want to inspect them first. OE ones will have
high mileage so carefully check the pivot points.
