kblagron 28 Report post Posted January 11 I am installing a fold down seat into a 1970 Mach 1 that had fixed seats before. I shamelessly stole a photo I found on here that shows bracket locations for the fold down seats. I have already learned I need both #1 brackets, and one of the #2 brackets. Then I noticed that I don't have either of the #3 brackets. I guess the previous owner took them out when replacing the floor pan and never re-installed. Are the #3 brackets needed for a fold down seat car? I can't see where they would be as I assume they are for the rear seat back, but maybe I am wrong.

kblagron 28 Report post Posted January 11 Well I think I figured out my own question. I went and dug out the rear seat that was in the back of a closet (waiting to be installed for a long time), and I saw where those brackets are at the very top of the seat bottom, so guess I have two more brackets to weld on.

Ridge Runner 1,153 Report post Posted January 11 Yes ,you need all three brackets ,#1 is the seat back hinge bracket, # 2 is the floor behind the fold down and # three is what the seat botton hooks on . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroStang 14 Report post Posted November 19 I need bracket #1, as the PO did not do a good job welding it in and I can't make it work. Any idea where I could purchase one? I found it part of bracket kit from Dynacorn, but not just standalone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kblagron 28 Report post Posted November 20 I never could find just the brackets I needed, and ended up buying the whole kit, quite expensive for what I needed. The problem with that bracket is it has a threaded hole in it, so possibly could be made, but you would have to weld in a threaded nut to make it work. If I had the old one, I would attempt to remove, and weld on pieces that would make it work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroStang 14 Report post Posted November 20 Thanks for the response. The whole kit is over $200 and I really don't want to spend that for one small bracket. I'm not very skilled with a welder so I was hoping to start with a new bracket. I may need to try utilize the damaged one, if I can't find a replacement bracket. 1 kblagron reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
