The Ford Barn

Does anyone have the exact location of where the mounting holes for the opera seats are located in the floor of the 1940 opera cpe? My floor was recently replaced and I want to drill the seat mount holes in the correct location. Old floor was not useable for pattern. I do have a nice set of original seats. Thank you.

Here's a diagram that may help: http://www.bradleyfloorpans.com/39-40.0.html

You do know that the floor area that you are referring to is different on a 5 window coupe and a business coupe?

Yes, it started life as a 5 window, and now is a business/opera cpe and the floors have been changed accordingly. That is the reason I could not use the old floors for a pattern as they are not drilled for the seats and are completely different floors, in that area. I had hoped that someone might be able to give me the seat mount hole locations. Thanks.
