The repro core support fits but is obviously different from the OE version in many ways (for instance the upper member creases and the capture nuts). Our original core support like most, was worse for wear on the bottom. We wanted to save the good original bits. So I drilled out the 80 or so spot welds on the OE core support to remove rusty bottom and vertical supports as a unit and then ground the spot welds away from the repro one to dissect out that same structure. Eric spotted it all back together.

That was a lot of work but looks great. The seats will be nice
