New fox seats and cover from Ford

[limp]

but weld the nuts to the bottom of the shock tower so you can do a one man install or removal all from the top side.

So do you install the brace, then tack weld the nuts to the tower inside the wheel well area?

It makes more sense to install the bolts facing up and install the nuts on the top.
Essentially turning them into studs.

Either way is fine, but I think the cleaner look in the engine bay would be to weld the nuts to the bottom (once it's all installed and torqued so you know it fits correctly) and then you won't see the exposed thread of the studs when the hood is open.

For the seats I'd recommend the opposite and make them studs coming out of the floor.

I've had this issue with the wedge brackets.
The wrench or socket seems to always come off and i crack my hand on something.
Then there is the fact that the bracket and carpet cover the bolt hole making it more difficult.
Let's not forget that the subframe seat brackets get nuts on them, which makes it even more of a pain.

Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way, wonder if it's possible we should be putting the bolts in from under the car, giving them a tack weld so they don't move and installing nuts on the top similar to the studs in the front.

Agreed the rear mounting bolts in that cubed spot where the bolt would insert into makes it a real pain!!

As someone who owns a car that could use some paintwork, i know little about covers.
I do think this one looks good, but is it a quality cover?
Do good covers really cost $500?
In the description it as says not for notchbacks.
Not for a notch, but will work on a vert with a luggage rack? We had a vert with a luggage rack, it's just a few inches high. Doesn't make sense to me.

 

[85GTStangGuy]

It'll fit a notch.... there will just be excess material that bunches around the rear window. Some people would be fine with that, others would think it doesn't look good at all like that. For it's cost, I'd want a near perfect fit.

It is pricey, but not unreasonable. Probably 2x the cost (or more) of an aftermarket cover. You're certainly paying a premium for the Ford Performance Parts name and the Motorsport logos. It does look badass tho, imo.

And remember that it's only an inside cover.... it's not designed to be exposed to the elements.

 

[AeroCoupe]

They need to make one for a notch. The most feared Fox on a race track and once again we get snubbed...jeesh. All kidding aside they look great and I am one of those that would not get it for my notch due to it being $500 and then end up with it bunching up behind the rear window and looking like ass.

Based on my 69 years of experience with " those " , the really nice looking ones are NEVER worth the expense...... LOL

I like the red one...but not for $500


For an indoor cover, i like this one that I use. Onyx Fitted cover. Inner liner is fleece line, and it's stretchable and fitted. I've had it on my car for 5-7 years now and love it. $120 and they have different versions fitted to your model
