1932 3W coupe seat adjuster and slider pics

[oldheap]

Hello,
I recently purchased a '32 3W that's fairly stock with an original seat that has been bolted to square tubing that was bolted to the floor. I have an OG seat adjuster, but now I'm trying to find or view pictures of the adjuster bracket that mounts on the floor, and the sliders. From all the searches I've done, it seems that the 3W adjuster bracket is different than the 5W/sedan, and the seat sliders are 18.5 inches long with 5 mounting holes, and the 5W/sedan sliders are 17" long with 4 mounting holes. I can't find any photos of the sliders mounted on a 3W or the floor bracket, which I assume mounts onto wood (?) but I'm not sure. The one photo I found of what was supposed to be a complete set up for a 3W seat shows the floor mount bracket for the adjuster being shorter than the 5W by an inch. Does anyone have a stock 3W they could remove the bottom seat cushion and take some photos to share with the community, or does anyone know how if the 3W and 5W adjuster bracket is different and how so, and does it mount on wood as would the seat sliders? I searched a lot of threads and came up empty so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Attached are a couple of photos that may be of assistance.

In the first, a pair of deluxe coupe seat track still attached to the outboard wood inserts that nest at the outer ends of the floor pan beneath the seat. The other attachment points of the seat tracks are on the #1 and #2 cross sills ahead and behind the depressed area beneath the seat.

In my experience, while early ratchet catches differ in length by body type, that difference was no longer maintained in later production.

The last two photos are of a very original deluxe coupe with the bottom cushion removed and a restored version.

To supplement what David provided, here's some additional pictures of the individual seat attachment and adjustment parts. In some maybe most cases the finish is not correct.

Thanks Tom, those are really helpful. The catch in your photos is different than the 5W that's available in reproduction, but can be modified to the shorter length easily. This really helps me a lot. Thanks!
