Does anyone have an expanded diagram of the seat mounting and tracks for a '74.

My latest acquisition has had all the handles removed/an or broken off.

It would be nice to figure out how to remove these without a sawzall....

Thanks

I don't quite get at you question. Even if the handle in the front is broken, the seat still comes out. Pull up on what remains of the handle and slide the sear forward to the stop. On the other side, press up on the flat spring that acts as a stop and slide the seat forward out of the seat rails. That or a sawzall will work.

Not just broken...MIA...I cant find any adjusters or levers other than a "tilt" lever under the outboard side of the drivers seat...No "remains" of a hanldle...No springs...no levers...nada....I'm sot sure I can get to the bolts without sliding the seat in one direction or the other....

That's why I'd thought to ask for an exploded parts diagram as this doesn't make sense! I don't know what the PO has done, but I believe it is better to do a little homework before I get out the sawzall....
Anybody have a PET disk and a printer?

Thanks,

Sean

The release parts are on the seat itself. They are there otherwise the seat would come off. The pictures show both sides. One side has the long lever that should have a handle on it. They commonly break off. Mine is a plastic replacement. Press up in the lever that is left and slide the seat forward all the way. The other side has the spring that is a stop. You must press up on it to get past the stop. If it is too difficult, allow the seat to slide bask a touch and try again. worse comes to worse, cut small hole in the seat bottom where the hinge is located and remove the bolts. Really LAST Resort. Your seat will come out.

Sorry, that is wrong! Do not cut the seat. After looking again, the bolts will not be accessible.
