I'm in the market for some repop seat back panels, and was wondering who makes the best ones? Ive seen a few advertised by alot of vendors and the price seems to vary. I just don't want anything by Palco. Thanks

I believe Mike Ross posted recently that BEA is now doing them....

I have a set of the BEA versions.
They look fantastic. I tried to install them and have an issue with angles not lining up near the hinge/latch area.
In talking to Mike about them , as well as others. Due to the angles I have , I believe I may have broken or cracked seat back frames. Which will suck because the seats are done with new foam and covers.
I had other work to do,,,so I just back burnered them and have not got back to them to investigate further.
Once I do ( maybe mid-march ) I'll post pictures
Bill, I'll betcha the seat frames are cracked, very common. I have rewelded them.

Is there a common location where they break?
My seats are out of the car, and the seat back of my drivers seat
has never seemed as sturdy as I think it should.
Thanks.

Are they the same product? and price?
PG Classics is the manufacture of BE&A's parts. The price is usually the same or less.
However with you living in the States you might want to deal with BE&A.
PG Classic's is out of Canada, that's why I prefer them ... less attitude too 
Seems to me there is a common denominator with you and some others attitudes ???

I don't know how anyone could have a better attitude than Mike Ross @ BEA, he's always a pleasure to deal with & has a good sense of humor... 
I can't argue with that. When I had posted a month or so back of the fit issues I was having. HE called me to help figure out a resolution.
does he comeoff as cocky, well yea.
but then again, I've been called a few things in my lifetime as well.
