1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

225/75R15 - "too close for comfort" up front.

Found used 205/75R15 - will clear the fender and frame. They are being mounted on the wheels as we "speak".

225 rear, 205 front.

Got a pair of 1980-85 Cadillac Eldorado power seat tracks. They match the Cutlass seat bolt spacing. Will need to figure out the wiring.

Jeep steering shaft installed; no more rag joint.

Figuring out the wiring - 3-motor power seat tracks. Bought 12 20A relays for this:

Translated the previous diagram into actual wiring. Using 18-gauge wire and 20A Bosch relays, works fine along the 8-pin switch. This came out of a 1980s Eldorado. Works fine - must keep in mind that the seats are made to be operated with someone sitting on the seat - the springs are tough to bend for thr motors without anyone sitting.

Will use the passenger assembly for my Cutlass driver seat and vice-versa -- to even out the wear on the tracks.

Home made Olds mag centers - based on worn out Pontiac mag centers.

Removed the seat, rustproofed the underneath and completed the wiring. Eldorado seat tracks are a 100% direct fit both to the seat and the floor bolts.

Completed the power seat assembly.

Mounted the control on a "temporary" aluminium bracket, not sure about it.

Installed look.
