Funny you mentioned that. I was looking through some old mags. last night and saw a Lakewood ad. After studing the picture, I thought about what you are suggesting. The seat bottom is very easy to unhook and remove to get access to the pull pin/bolt. I think I could bolt down the plate and have the receiver stub miss the seat bottom, so it could stay in.
Struts would require major surgery to the front end. They wouldn't be a bolt in.

Either way I think it will look good. What did Don Hardy offer in this time period? Speaking of, I remember seeing some front struts in the for sale section several months ago. If they fit they would look good on your Vega. Does anyone have a catalog they can post on here?
