34 ford coupe seat adjuster/risers

[IronFord]

I have a 34 three window coupe. I seem to be missing something that sits between the seat pan and the upper slide on the adjuster. The bolt pattern on the upper slide doesn’t match the holes in the seat pan. I have the earlier adjuster handle but I will modify it to use with the 34 adjuster locks in the tracks. If someone can post a picture of what I’m missing that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The parts with the handle, etc. in the third photo are '32-'33.

Your first photo shows the flat locking bars and their spring. There are two rods that pull the locking bars and allow the seat to move. The rods are pulled by a rotating handle and bracket under the steel seat frame at the center between the driver and passenger. The early 35 and some of the 34 seats used the same adjuster handle. Later in 35 and through 36 the handle was changed slightly with the way the end of it pointed. It is possible you have a mixture of parts and that may be the reason the seat pan is not aligning with the seat adjuster ???

Hey guys thanks, I know the parts with the handle are wrong. I bought the handle after I purchase the car. My seat pan didn't have a handle, and at the time I didn't know 32/33 and 34 were different.

I removed the seat tracks from the car yesterday. They were stuck, and I spent some time getting them moving again. At some point the seat pan was cut with a torch. While I was getting ready to repair that. I noticed that the studs on top of the upper slide don't match the holes in the seat pan. The seat pan looks right to me unless it's from a 33? I don't know if there are differences in the 33-34 pans. The man I purchase the car from had a massive collection of early V8s and it is possible that the seat was something that was purchased by him.

I will try and post some better pictures.

Thanks again
