Both of mine are cracked. I have yet to find a disco in any of the very few U-Pulls within 100 miles of me (have called all I can find numbers for), so repairing with a longer term reinforcement is a much better option for me, at least. Your mileage may vary - you may live in an area with more...

This is worth being stickied! Thanks for posting - this is a good combination with an experiment I'm going to do with fibreglass & epoxy when it cools off a little (and I have a weekend without honey-dos.

Woot. Thank you. I had assumed it required prying it apart, but didn't want to do that and not be able to put it back together - the oven idea is a great one.

The passenger side rectangular OEM fog lamp on my 2k D2 didn't work when I got it. I finally got 'round to troubleshooting to discover that the upper breather tube had broken off, allowing it to literally fill with water (and about a quart of mud that ain't from GA based on the color). I've...

Best suggestion I can make is to try it on some samples before investing in the full leather for your seat. That's how I found out my 50 year old White machine would sew marine canvas - with tweaking of the bobbin tension. You'll need the right needle and thread, of course.

Could you use the original as a mold to make the mold? That's how we copied WW kayaks back in the 70s and 80s.

I'd like to find a place to get just the bottom part of the seat - everything else is nearly perfect (could use a good cleaning), but the drivers' lower is worn and has a huge rip. TBH, I can probably get the local upholstery shop to do a halfway match of just that, and I'm not all that...

If you were using leather or any heavy fabric, or putting special seams, you'd want a heavy duty walking foot seam. If just making covers (vs. replacement seat upholstery) a medium weight machine would work. Interested to hear what BigLou used though.

Got a side or 3/4 shot that shows how far it sticks out in front? I'll admit I'm at least mildly interested, but not driving to Lynchburg from S. Ga/N. FL this coming weekend....

Thanks for the replies and links - sorry I took a while to respond; have been out of town on work before this storm hits the east coast. I got a print version from a co-worker who had a 2000 disco that was totaled. Wish I knew where it ended up - I need random parts :)

Really looking for an electronic copy, but - PM your asking price though.

Possibly (probably?) dumb questions - where in heck do you get a 2000 owners manual (other than paying the pdf sellers)? I've registered on Topix, found great stuff, but no owners manual. I know I can get the printed ones used on Ebay for a premium, but I just want an electronic copy that I'm...
