I haven't posted for a while. I mentioned last time reworking the "ear" on the horn contactor, and I believe now it must have been bad from the start, just barely making contact because the horn works great now!

I learned that my guy in Florida who specializes in Fiero covers had major heart surgery last year, ending up with 6 bypasses and coding on the table once or twice! I guess it was a rough go and kicked his butt pretty good but he bounced back and after a few months responded to my emails about making my "Headless Fiero" covers. We had picked a color last fall, and after a bit of back & forth I placed my order, asking him to send me 7 yards of the same material for panels. I'd not done much to get started, other than thinking about the panels and some pockets, then last week he sent me a note saying he was stitching my covers and they should be here around the 15th of December - Merry Christmas to ME!!

Knowing the covers were coming I ordered a roll of foam and a couple of yards of carpeting plus a heel pad. The carpet arrived this morning (FedEx guy driving his older white F150 Crew Cab, stuffed with packages, said they're using anything that drives to cover the deliveries!), so with the temp in the 50's I got the roadster shifted around in the barn, and pulled the seats and the top for easy access. The carpet - the actual color is darker than the photo and matches the interior material well.

I bought Juliano's seat belts, and following their recommendation had installed the receiver end of the belts with the rigid housing on the outside beside the doors, to prevent the longer loose end from hanging out the door. Over the past few months I've found it's been very difficult to get the belt latched in the confined space against the interior panel, plus the two loose ends get piled in the passenger seat. With the seats out I decided to look at swapping the parts. Ended up making a mounting bracket for the center using some 3/16" plate I had to spread the mounts from the single base plate.

So tomorrow I'll make a pattern for the carpet. I plan to make the "hump" separate, binding the edges with some interior material, to make it easily removable for tranny access. Hoping it all comes together!
