'65 FB Seat Doesn't Lie Flat

(1/5) > >>

Hi,

After some time I have decided to fix the issue where my rear seat doesn't lie flat when it is folded forward. The brackets that the hinges bolt on to look like they have been re-welded in at some point in the past(and not very well done).

I don't know if the bracket is incorrect or if I have the wrong rear seat. Any help would be appreciated in solving this niggly problem. I rarerly have the seat folded down but I would still like to fix it.


Thanks,

John

are you sure your car is a factory fastback?

why don't you just relocate the brackets, or if they are too low you might be able to space the seat up with some fender washers etc.

Good question. The VIN number has 09 for the body style.

I think the brackets are too high but before I do anything as drastic as moving them I wanted to discuss it with people more knowledgeable than myself first
