You should be able to find them on eBay. The seats were common with several German cars in the 80's and I found several parts that I needed for my 82 seats a year ago. There may be a part or ID # on your old part if you still have them that might help too.

I read about a national event called Mustang Week in January and submitted our Mustang based 06 Avanti to see if they were interested. They were and we took our car there at the end of April. It was among 1500 Mustangs of all years, some from as far away as Canada and Puerto Rico. Our car won an award while there, but the most important thing were the ideas that we came up with while looking at all of cars/vendors. I now have 4 new ongoing projects with the car because of this and the first was wheels/tires. Ford originally intended that the car come with 18" wheels per the door sticker, but Avanti Motors put 2004 17" x 9" Mustang Cobra SVT wheels on the car instead. After we decided on a wheel, and we looked at dozens, we bought "Xcess 5 Flake" chrome rims, 18" x 8.5". I then purchased Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires and put 255/45 on the back and 245/40 on the front. The front tires are 1.25" inches shorter than the back and gives the car that "dropped" front end look. The speedometer is accurate when checked with a GPS and the car drives and handles extremely well. I put the original wheels/tires for sale on Facebook and sold them in 1 day. 3 more mods are coming soon.

The switch is most likely bad. You can unplug it, connect an ohm meter to it and rotate it and see if the circuit works in every position (bad) or does work correctly. If it works correctly then someone has bypassed it or the wiring harness has a problem.

It's the resolution, jpg must be 300 DPI for conversion. Standard 72 DPI isn't clear enough.

Mine should work, used it for decals, clothing etc.

There is a small L bracket that is missing, it is part of the front window channel that you ordered from Dan.

You can swap out the 305 for a 350 without any problem. If you want to keep the 83 carb/distributor and computer system, then that will work also, with the exception of having to rejet the carb for the 350. The 350 also would need 350 exhaust manifolds since the ports and exit port are larger. You would need to have a muffler shop replace the flange that connects the exhaust pipe to each manifold with larger ones to match the 350 exhaust manifold. The good thing is you'll have a lot more power once you are done, and the value of the car will go up as well.

I was thinking that there was something similar to a L bracket that the screw went into and you could use that to attach the rivet to. Maybe we need to see a photo of the problem area?

I think there is enough room for you to drill a new hole and use a pop rivet to fix it, or maybe make a small L bracket to connect the 2 pieces.

Oreilly Auto Parts sells the 3 speed Murray switch which works like a champ.

I have the second generation logo in a vector file

I don't know, never had the pleasure of doing that.
