Measurements Required Please

Post by toffynose »

Hi,

I need to replace the seat support bracket on my SWB 1967s, It the part you can not see unless you remove the floor pan (the part the strengthens the seat rail)

I am after measurements of height along the length ready for the floor pan to be welded back in.

All help would be very much appreciated.

kind regards

My 67 is a shell at present and will be blasted in the next week or so, then the sills, floor etc all out. I am sure you will be welcome to measure it when its on the jig if you are local. The car will be in Oxfordshire.

Not the greatest of help, but when I had to rebuild mine where the bottom had rotted off (as they do) I just rebuilt the existing to the height of the new floorpan. It is the measurement between the seat base support on the side-member and the floorpan that matters so it gives additional strength and support, so it doesn't really matter what anyone else's measurement is as long as yours is a tight fit between the two and is welded top and bottom.

Thanks to the both of you, Mike I thought that would be the case but also thought the other way around.

Thanks a lot
