The 'E' Type Forum

I realize now that I should have taken more photos prior to disassembling the Series 1 FHC seats. I had the seats re-upholstered and now I’m busy putting them back together. The issue I’ve come up with is this.



I have these two brackets with six screws, but on the seat base I can only locate two holes (under the seat slide mechanism) and therefore can’t figure out the correct location and orientation of the brackets.

Have you looked on any of the supplier websites for diagrams of the Seat base/runner parts? I can’t see them in the SNG Seat parts section. Mine was a 3.8 so had different seats, but similar slider assemblies and I don’t recognise those bits in your photo. Could they be part of the recliner mechanism? Are you sure they are original to the car and not an addition by a previous owner?

I recognise the other two as the recliner brackets that help hold/lock the backrest in upright position. Don't recognise the two you point out.

I think I figured out both bracket locations after doing a whole lot of digging on this forum. Here is a phot that I located that illustrates the position of both parts.



I too was unable to locate the larger of the two brackets at SNG, Moss, and others. Luckily mine aren't broken.
