Greetings All! I'm looking (and hoping) someone has a good picture of the metal seat bracket that is under the fiberglass seat bottom and holds it to the floor...the years were not kind to these and need a pic to fabricate them! Thanks in advance! Cheers!
Noah
A little progress...unfroze the passenger side door😎

Attached are two pix of the passenger side seat track. I'll post driver side later.
Dimensions - 17" long x 1/14" tall x 1*14" wide.

Thank you!

Only the driver's seat is adjustable. The driver's seat tracks on the first picture are swapped. The knob looks correct on both seat pictures. The seat track with the adjuster knob should on the right side of the seat, not on the left side. The first picture is incorrect, and the second and third pictures show the correctly installed seat adjuster. The carpet should have hidden snaps that secure the carpet to the floor next to the lower door slide. There should be no sill plate by the lower door slide as shown in the first picture.

topic revisited as I try to advance to the Drivers seat adjuster. Nothing like having a lot of irons in the fire...As you see from many of my pics, the Ohio weather has not been kind to any metal parts on mine...that said, does anyone have any good pics of the seat frame removed showing the actual adjuster? literally nothing left of mine :-/ any advice or guidance as to what vehicle these may have been borrowed or modified from?

Bring your camera and stop by for a visit. I have the Darrin in better space so taking pictures and measurements will be much easier.
-
Excellent...you beat me to the punch as I was going to message you soon about stopping over. I appreciate the invite! I need to get through the next 2 weeks with school and some gig scheduling and will touch base around Mid-February:-)

Jake,
Chris **EDITED BY ADMIN**, aka Jake,
Why don't you re-enlist for $35.00 and quit being _ t _ _ _ d? I have met you and, you seem quite smart. But, you are really beginning to irritate people by calling them late at night, submitting many emails that are inappropriate, and listing yourself as a "former member".
You are far better than this, and if don't have the $35.00 to re-enlist, we will start a "fund me for Jake, i.e., Chris **EDITED BY ADMIN**" on Facebook for you. What do you think, Jake, Chris **EDITED BY ADMIN**?
The photo of your late Father and Uncle in the old KF Sign photo (and you look just like them) was impressive. My Father and Uncles are all gone now, and I try every day to make them smile down on me as I work hard to become better, given that my time here is also limited.
I hope you will take this seriously, as I think you are much BETTER than your recent posted things. We really expect someone as gifted as yourself to provide information and questions that will all make all of us stronger as a "team".
I'm very sorry to call you 'OUT', but as a friend, I hope you will take the appropriate actions. You don't need to apologize, just change your manner regarding the things many of "old folks" expect. Your are very intelligent, but many of your comments, etc., are and have been damaging to your personal friendships that only need a little bit of empathy on your part. You can do this!!
Many folks much older and wiser than me have tried to get your attention for a long time. You probably have spoken with some of them, not realizing what they were telling you, and for that reason, you have alienated many of them. You don't need any of them, but WE ALL NEED AND WANT YOU TO BE OUR FRIENDS.
Please re-join, act like you are an adult, and let's get on with our related KF business as "MEN"! We need you, and we hope to see in the future as a "full-fleged" KFOCI member, and SOON!
Jerry

AMEN
It's not just here.
AACA members have experienced similar antics.
PS.. didn't take me long to fill in the blanks.
-
Well, glad that was aired out...but I'm still interested in the seat adjuster pics... ;)
-
Here are pics of both seat rails.

Thank you once again Lee. Wow...I would never have made that out from the crumbled mess that I found under the drivers seat.
-
Just to let you know the drivers seat mount rides on large ball bearings.
Lee
-
Thank you! Looking at it I was wondering that or if they just lathered some grease in there and called it a day:-)
-
Thank you fro the photos of the seat tracks. Mine look just like those, I was afraid there was something missing to lock the second track in place, but see that only one of the 2 tracks had the slide lock.
-
That is correct only one side locks

Follow up inquiry...
I was finally able to obtain some decent HJ seat tracks that’ll give me a good start to begin mods to make my driver seat move...since the HJ tracks mount differently to the floor my questions are:
1) based on the pics, is the wide base used in the Darrin drivers seat that the actual moving rail rides on; was it Darrin only?(deductive reasoning tells me it was)
2)Lee or anyone, could I get L/W measurement on the wide base?...I don’t have enough left to get an accurate read.
Thanks in advance, and the corrosion fight continues :-)
-
I am in Chicago now i brought one Darrin with me ,if I have a chance I will remove the seat and measure it for you.
Lee
-
thank you! no rush and most appreciated!
-
I took some pics of the seat track with my iPhone but can’t post from that so send me your email address and I will send them to you.
