I am finally putting the correct seat in my 34 3w, and I can not find the latch/lock thingy that mounts to the floor. I had one...I know what it looks like...but its missing in my mess. I have the saw toothed thing for the seat frame, but not the latch for the floor and if one of you guys has the time and the part, please post a pic and some basic dimensions so I can make one. Its under the seat, no one will know except us! Thanks !

This part is visible by just lifting out the bottom seat cushion. I believe there are different latch mechanisms between the 33 and 34, mine is possibly the 33 style as its a body out of Canada, none the less, its the "saw tooth" style I have.
Its a L shaped bracket, bolts to the floor, with a key hole shaped hole to allow you to move the seat to a different saw tooth notch.
I'll make it, but I need to know....the vertical end of the L shaped bracket faces towards the front of the car, or the rear. And, how far from a bolt hole to the vertical bend.
This would be critical to have the seat travel the distance that Henry intended it to.
I believe the 4 door models used the same mechanism. Anybody?

I will add, if you have a curvy chrome handle , like the door handles, you have my style.
If you have a plain steel lever, thats the other type, I've had both

Yes there are two different styles due to two Mfg for Ford. The floor mount photos below one is 32 which I believe is very similar to 34. It appears the floor mount adjuster lost favor with Ford and for 35-36 the seat mount was used and went through some changes.

Exactly what I need Terry, thank you much.

You asked for some basic dimensions. Here they are, taken with a caliper.
This bracket is from my '34 coupe. Notice that the base of this floor bracket is angled. Should it be straight?

Straight.

cas3 · 09-21-2023, 07:50 AM

WOW ! Thats not basic dimensions, thats a blue print !. Thanks for the effort Mike.
