    need seat cover

    pan and foam are good on a standard seat, but cover is shot. Anyone have a spare, or can direct me where to go?

          That's for a 79 special, I think he said standard seat. I also am looking for a standard seat cover, specifically an 80 standard seat cover. All I can seem to find are 78-79 standard or special covers.

              Thats for a 79 standard, won't fit an 80 standard, the seat pan is shaped differently. As I understand it, a special seat pan will fit a standard in 80, but will need to be trimmed for the cap area drain. So I don't think the cover for a 79 standard with it's flat bottom will fit the 80's sculpted bottom.

                  +1 to these guys! Very nice materials, exact duplicate of the OEM cover. I paid a little extra for the premium, long grain look, but it was definitely worth it.
