Nice... great way to fix it! There's a co called Fastenal, they have one time use nutserts that I'm going to try on mine. If it fails, I can get to it and pull it out and try to weld something in from the backside.

It can, the only problem is it gives almost ZERO warning before it melts awayand falls apart so you need to be REALLY careful.

SAHWEET!!! Do you think you'll be able to swing up Tuesday or Wednesday to pick them up? There's a ton of weather coming our way Thurs-Sun and I want to leave the FD out of Le Annex Part Duex so you can sit in them before you take them home incase there are some adjustments to be made. As Alex told you tonight, the range of motion is limited because of how wide they are..... they are so 'effin comfy though! All three of us are about the same hieght/build and where they are, they're great. As far back as they can go is too far for me to be comfy. I can't wait to get started on that car.
