Left seat mount gave out today. I was getting out and the seat just tilted up to the side. I don't see any rust, it's only welded at the front and I guess after 47 years the flexing got to it.  |

Replacements available new and used. Post in classifieds and you'll get one to weld in. Crazy how one broke that way.

The hinge pivot has been seized a long time and adjusting it up/down has been bending the pan metal, done enough times for it to fatigue and snap the metal.
RD has new ones. |

I never tilt the seat. I do crank the belts down tight hundreds of times for AX.
For now I'll probably weld the bracket and deal with real replacement in winter months. |
