If I could find a good set of 84 leather low back buckets I would use them in my 'Manche in a heart beat....

IIRC.. the bottom of the brackets are different, but the part where the brackets mount to the seat themselves is the same.

You can't just mount the new brackets for the seat on the old seat and use it. Prolly be an easier mod.
