Default Re: Seat Weight

Jim:
Here's the individual weights of the bench seat out of my 1971 T-37 A-Body. Had it re-covered before the stupid aluminum seat rule so I haven't put it back together.
1. Bottom = 39.4 lbs.
2. 2 backs @ 18.4 ea. = 36.8 lbs.
3. 2 head rests @ 3.2 ea. = 6.4 lbs.
Total = 82.6 lbs.
As you might guess I don't like the rule but I've spent a lot of time in other areas to rid weight and it would be foolish for me not to put them in. I'm not sure how much the seats will weigh when installed but maybe someone can tell us. I'm guessing that a savings of around 40-50 lbs. Hope this helps. Regards, Danny
