Here's some more photos of the mythical seat back shields on 1940 Ford split back seats. Their purpose is to prevent the upholstery from tearing when moved back and forth at the pivot point. These have been on every split back seat car, tudors, convertibles and parts cars that I've had in the past 38 years. NOSPARTSMAN

nospartsguy.....glad you sent this, as I could not see the cotter pin hole from my angle here.

One of mine is "askew" and wished to screw in the missing screw.

Thx...Mike

I have them in my Convertible and also have some sedan seats in the barn and they are on them also.
I am not concerned at all if they are original at this point in the game.

Right. Who is to say that every 40 left the line with these in place on the seats?
We were not there that day .This is just an example why I judge my cars myself .

There's two words that should not be used when it comes to the specifics of any Ford V-8. Those words are "always" and "never". When one of those words is used there's somebody out there to prove you are wrong. Many times there were differences in the cars from assembly plant to assembly plant and there were differences in the items supplied by outside suppliers.

Do you have a drivers side to sell? I need one.

I would call them escutcheons. They cover the area where the hinge pin/pivot pokes through the seat back fabric giving a finished look.
