Default 32 Tudor sedan front seat mounts.

Gentlemen.

I'm looking at the two metal crossmembers where my front seats ought to mount. On the passenger side (USA Car) there are two fairly large holes with decent strengthener plates below, which I can imagine having upstands similar to the Model A seat supports. On the drivers side there are no such holes just one smaller one at the right front corner area of the seat and a small hole in the rearward crossmember approximately near the left rear corner of the seat. (This hole has a twin on the passenger side.

Can anyone shed any light on how the seats are fitted in a 2 dr sedan?

I have model A seats so will have to improvise anyway, but knowing how the 32 ones were done would help.

Is the driver's seat adjustable fore and aft?

Thanks in advance..

Mart.

The drivers side was mounted by 2 brackets that fastened to the floor with corresponding brackets in the front edge of the seat which allowed the seat to hinge forward for access to the rear seat. The drivers side was mounted on tracks with an adjuster in the center which allowed the seat to slide forward and back for different drivers.

Mart,


Here are some photos of North American convertible sedan/Tudor sedan/Victoria front seat bottoms and tracks for the driver's side (adjustable) and passenger side (non-adjustable) that may be helpful. The passenger side seat only attached at two points in the front as it folded forward to provide easier entry to the rear seat area
