I'd like to add my kudo's also.  I'm at this stage right now with a body that had to be scrapped.  I'll also be looking at a new body kit and will definitely look these over.

Rommel,
Do you care to provide an updated list on the issues that have been fixed on the 3A tubs and what issues are still being worked on?

For example
1.  Incorrect gage hole sizes.....................fixed 3-1-13
2.  Location of transmission/t-case hole......pending
3.  Firewall angle.....................................pending
4.  Toolbox latch changed to match OEM.....pending

As an issue is corrected the entire updated list could just be posted again on this topic.  This would help any new members to the 3A community have a quick reference point on what has been done.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi Rommel,

I recently bought one of your new CJ-3a rear seat frames.  There were two issues with the legs. Where the front leg is flattened and bent the leg is very weak. I added some weld to improve it's strength.

Also the rear leg does not sit 90 degrees to the jeep bed, and so the pins do not insert completely into the floor mounted catches. I chose to grind some of the leg away to improve the fit and to get a more solid connection with the floor mounted catch.

I've not seen an original seat so I cannot make a comparison, but the seat frame seems sturdy enough.

Rommel, when will these new parts be available?  I purchased a new tub kit last month and I have been really struggling with the fender fit. Will there be an updated part number to order the "new" fender?
