There's a thread showing how to put a later passenger seat into an early car, but I can't find it. It involved welding in a seat adjuster, if I remember correctly. I've searched, no luck, anyone know where it is?
Thanks. |

Should be easy. Weld in the same seat mounts that are on the driver side. Restoration design sells them.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) plus you will need adjust bracket the mounts on the crossmember. My 70 has a a later passenger seat. I would take some pictures for you, but my car is at Brad Mayeur's shop getting a spring time work done. |

I've had a design for a bolt in conversion since 1985.
It will be available as a kit in the next month or so. |

Will I be able to afford it, Chris?
I know there was a thread or mention in the thread, even thought I saved the link, now I'll be damned if I can find it. Thanks, gents. |

I thought he was German? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) The seat-rails fit into the rear (fixed) studs, all i had to do is use some flat nuts so the seat can still move. Same in the front, there are already threaded holes in the crossbeam that i used to secure the rails there. No welding or cutting needed. The only thing you can't do with this method is to tilt the seat up/down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
