WHat about grabbing one of the Corbeau rear seat kits, and then cutting out the center material and having it sewn into the covers and then installed on your current rear seat?

https://lmr.com/item/CS-FB26501CV/83-93-Mustang-Convertible-Black-Cloth-Rear-Seat-Upholstery

+ your covers?

Ultimately it's what i'll probably end up doing. I'll buy another complete rear seat so a shop can use the original material as a template and then they can create the rear seat out of materials that will match the front, but the patten will be a Fox seat that I can install like OEM.

Of course that's down the road. Upholstery work isn't cheap which is why i'm happy with the Corbeau setup in the back for now

That’s exactly what I’m having done. The Corbeau kit is in the mail now, hope to take everything to upholstery in a couple weeks

I'd be curious to see how that turns out. I'll probably end up doing the same next winter

I contemplated that as well. This shop is legit, and had material that was basically the same but yeah at that price I have to pass when I could just go order a complete corbeau seat and upholstery set for just a little more. Think I am going to order that kit like yours, but in cloth and see if they can do that or maybe just go to a different shop and see if they can do that. We shall see! If it had been like 4-500 maybe I would have jumped on it but not at 850.

The circled part is going to get black suede with a diamond cross stitch.

Same with the Corbeau rears.

Ok so I do take this peice out correct to put the new momo hub on? How am
Going to retain the horn?

Mustang5L5 · Feb 22, 2019

What's the backside of the hub look like?

Mines was a slightly different install than yours, but for me the hub bolts to the shaft and the contact ring touches the horn fingers. I don't have a clockspring

Are you asking about my stock one or the new one?

So the same one I have. I have no idea how to hook that up to the airbag wheel column. The connection on the back is for the 84-89 column.

This year American muscle video, they took the hub off and I guess if I want the horn I’d have to order this part.

Or swap on an 87-89 tilt column. Now is the perfect time

Also, in case you want the Ford horn button

I don’t really like that column all that much. Gonna just plug this one on and see how I like

Got the old wheel off and the new hub and wheel on. I like it!! Didn’t like the gap that was left so I pulled apart whatever the peice was that is round from the original wheel. Cut the lip on it, then used the dremel to flatten the ridge down and it took car of the ugly gap.
