#1 Front seats 3.8 FHC

Post by andrewh » Fri Apr 11, 2014 5:01 am

Guys, it seems my photographic record of the strip down is left wanting again, and the schematic in the parts book is not helping me. Can anyone enlighten me as to the fixing arrangement for the seats in my 3.8 please?

I just need to understand where the washers and spacers fit to be correct. And are the set screws that hold the unners to the floor pan head slots or hexagonal? Struggling to recall now. Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
My seat runners are retained to the floor with pan head slot screws.

Cheeky beggar. I, being a family man, have a few cars with seats in the back Lee. Force of habit!!!!!

Thak you chaps for the intel. I reckon the pan head scores are NOT. Available for some bizarre reason. What is it, a 5/16 UNF. Can't be that tricky to find surely. Will a hex bolt foul the inner then?

Also. Thanks David for the detail from the parts book which I have howeve the problem comes C 18698 x 4 which is not clear where these go? I think they o on the runner stud only on the front to tilt the seat up for the tie brackets for he adjustment lever but its certainly not clear.
