Does anyone have the dimensions or a source for the brackets that attach the bottom of the wood for the back of the upper seat cushion to the floor panel?

I understand these are not currently being reproduced.

Is this what your looking for...with the 3 clips? Make sure you thank Marco!

Yes, thank you, those are the clips.

I can probably make them up based on the photo, but it would be helpful if someone has the dimensions.

Anyone?

Call ......www.modelastore.com Bert's in Denver (Colorado)....

Also, at the top of the main page is a "sticky" that has loads on information
to help...try it, it's good!

I had the same problem when I did my 30-31 standard roadster. A guy that posted on the forums that has since passed, made a set and sent them to me for free, screws, washer, nuts and all. I should have took measurements before I installed them. As it is, I would have to remove some parts to even see them.

Okay,...they look like they should work....but I have some questions.
These questions coming from a 28-29 guy, about 30-31's.

1. Were the originals bolted in or riveted?
2. Whats with the extra hole in front of the bracket...is that the original
hole for the bracket?
3. No shot intended, but the brackets look like the came from the hard-
ware store.....is that what there supposed to look like?

sphooch · 07-13-2014, 07:10 PM

these brackets were attached to the seat back when I bought the car, my car was only a shell but one of the parts that came with it was an original seat back frame and these were attached to it . they were rusty so I blasted them and painted them black. the extra hole u see is my mistake and still needs to be corrected. hope this helps you out.

Trying to remove the roadster’s seat back so I can re-upholster it. How is it meant to be removed? The bottom of the driver-side released with great difficulty but I cannot get the passenger-side unstuck. What should I try? I struggled with it for 3 or 4 hours today to no avail.
