Never again!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ever ever again, for any reason other than an emergency and that will have to be life threatening, while I have Sarah or any other A as long as I have an A with a rumble seat, remove it and then return it. NEVER again. Those of you that take your rumble out, wham bam thanka mam style, ZIP two screws out and WaaaLAA!!!!! Not with Sarah!!!!!!! and that's all I'm going to say about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

W O W!! Slow down!!! :eek: Is Sarah a person or a 'car'??

Personally I view a rumble seat just like a loaded gun. Handled with precautionary measures and they are safe and can be enjoyed. Be foolish with your actions ...and they are dangerous!

31 Model A's post is very hard to understand. I am not quite sure what he is trying to get at. If he is sold on rumble seats, no problem. Not very good English.

I had a hard time figuring out exactly what his rant was all about.
• Taking the cushion out to make room for cargo?
• Converting it back to a trunk?

or what????

(And that's all I'm going to say about that!) :D

I don't take the rumble seat out. Have no reason to. So there has not an issue, and, thats all I'm going say about that.

I'm relieved. I'm not frustrated, but I must admit I'm confused. :confused:

I never take out the rumble seat. Er.... wait, I have a Tudor. Well then, never for me either!

Re: Never again!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I took the rumble out, and to leave it out and use it as a trunk, second to fix the handle lock since it had no key. When I took it out, the previous owner did not use the D nuts and screws to secure the bottom part of the backrest. It was two wood screws and a washers drill into the lid frame. No problem, I was leaving the seat out anyway. Took the handle off and took it to a locksmith where he cut a new key to fit the original tumblers. Picked it up today, worked fine until I went to lock the lid down. The latch coming out of the cylinder is not slotting itself when I go to lock it. The slotted circle inside the lid is too far away for the latch to fit down inside. OK, so the rumble can't be locked, so I decided to put the rumble back................sure!!!! Back went in OK but getting it bolted down at that angle by someone not so agile anymore is another thing. I did order and get the proper D bolts but finding the hole at my age, is a different matter.......to make a story even longer, the rumble is back in, secured, seat in place and secured and the handle is back as it was.......................

I was fighting cramps both in my fingers and brain when I posted this thread, sorry for the confusion. It was meant to relieve myself of impure thoughts.

remember your working on the "rear end" of the car. it could be dangerous back there

31 Model A 03-13-2015 06:01 PM
Re: Never again!!!!!!!!!!!
 

What's worse about all this, the back rest might be secure but.............the right side is not tight at the top and I know tomorrow I'm going to be right back out there doing it all over again, I don't like half ass jobs done. This time though I'll just loosen the bottom screws and then lift the back up and out, get the latch a bit tighter and then reset it. Damn, I probably won't even sleep tonight thinking about it................that's just the way I am.

OK!!! The rumble backrest tight on both sides now but....one of the d-nuts came out of it slot while screwing in the screw but was able to still get it down tight with slow turns.

I can sleep tonight now..............and plan my day tomorrow doing something else.

Rumble seats don't make good trunks. When Daddy and I went to Williamsburg for the MARC national meet in 2007 (gosh--was it really eight years ago?) we took the cushions out of the rumble to make more room for luggage. The little Playmate ice chest slid back to the rear and wedged under the closed deck lid, and we almost never got it open. I thought we were going to have to take the front seat out to get the stuff out of the rumble and clear the "clog." We finally got it to let go. Being short and fat also doesn't help when trying to use a rumble for a trunk. I wish I had a real trunk instead of a rumble seat in the standard coupe. Now a sport coupe, or a roadster, or a cabriolet are different.

This morning, both arms are bruised, my back is killing me and the rumble is back where it will stay, stay and stay!!! I doubt if I will ever open it up again. I might weld it shut but I'll still have the whitewalls to impress the ladies!!!!! :D

I bought my coupe with a trunk. I thought I would change it to a rumble seat at some point, but NO!! I love the trunk and will never change it.:)

As a Supervisor I told one of my employees to take a couple of Midol.
the employee got offended and took it up to my Boss.
My Boss read my the riot act...the whole time laughing his ass off.
