    restoring my ride 1986 accord hatch

    hey ive been looking but cant find a manual transmission shifter boot anyone know where i could get one?
    and does anyone have a problem with their clock bracket (the piece that clips on around the clock on the car)

    anyone would suggest any hawaii friendly sites for oem parts?

    was wondering are there any other cars that i can swap the rear seats and if possible front ones too? maybe integra?

    shift boot: junkyards, possible another Accord (fifth-gen works, I think)
    clock trim: the one in my current car used to hang off - bend the clips to make it fit
    Hawai'i-friendly sites: try http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/
    rear seats: no
    front seats: second-gen Prelude seats are great

    Hope that helps.

    Most cars have unique seats, especially the rear ones. All three of these body styles (coupe, sedan, hatch) even have individual rear seats.

    If you want a pristine boot, then you're probably going to have to sew one yourself. I will be sewing one from leather when mine gets a little rattier. Just get a reasonably decent one from the yard and cut out the stitches for a pattern. The clock bracket is metal, bendable and paintable.

    Good luck with the restoration.
