Default Del Sol SI - need advice on replacing stolen seats, radiator, spare tire, and battery

My seats got stolen from my car, Radiator, spare, battery.

For my radiator, do i need to buy the any thing else other then my radiator and the radiator fan?

I was wondering if these seats will just work with my car? with out having to buy new brackets?

Its really hard looking for del sol seats. . . Any other place i can look?

Get new Del Sol seats. Don't buy those POS Ebay specials. If they can afford to sell those and offer free shipping, how crappy are they really?

I don't think they are beat up but are you really going to get suckered into spending $400 for shipping? Are they coming from Mars?

And yes all you should need is the radiator and fan, maybe some hoses if they cut or stole them too, what weird things to steal, did they actually take these off the car or was it all already off?

I called an looked at a few local junk yards. I could not find any thing.

The radiator was aluminum, is why i think they took it. I think they cut the lower hose. top one they just took off.

Any one know of any cheap seats that will work in a del sol?

Any seat will work.. You just need brackets from delsol seats.. People throw all sort of different seats in hondas.. Honestly if you want stock seats just keep callin junkyards or look on the forums people are always sellin their stock seats.. You just really need to do research to find them..

I wonder....would Teg seats fit in there?
I know they kick the hell outta my old Civic seats and they're relatively easy to find compared to Del Sol seats (I wonder if they're more supportive/comfy as well)

I have some Del sol seats that I could part with for cheap. I just don't know how much it would cost to ship.

LOL, I didn't even look that far down. That's insane.

Last time I bought Del Sol seats off eBay the dumbass had bought them from someone else, then somehow managed to tell UPS to deliver them to me instead. The tracking was really bizarre, went all the way from Washington to Texas, attempted deliveries, then suddenly new address, and it worked its way from Texas to me. Bastard didn't even pay for shipping.

When those wore out I managed to get one of the last seatbacks still in Honda's distributor chain to repair my OEM seats, since it was cheaper than buying new Sol seats.

Civic, Integra, hell even RSX seats will all physically fit in a Sol but without the brackets you can't have bolts in all 4 holes. And if you don't have bolts in all 4 holes you can kiss your insurance claim goodbye (the personal injury part at least) in the event of an accident.
