Re: 69 seat?
No I didn't, I'll have to go look and see.
My seat is a full foam seat, and the '67 seat back was springs, so just swapping back frames wasn't an option. (plus there were some other differences that I don't remember).
But if I recall correctly I did some measuring first to see how much the location difference was between the tilt pivot and non-tilt bolt holes.
I cut the lower arms off of long off of the 67 seat, so I could grind to fit.
Then I removed the cover, drilled holes in my '72 seat base where needed then I bolted the '72 seat frame back together. Then positioned the cut arms where the new pivot holes were to be and cut and ground till the cut was located in an acceptable place. Then I scribed on the '72 frame where to cut the back frame arms off at. Cut them off and then cleaned the area to be welded, jigged it up and tack welded it, re-installed for proper fitment and then finished welding.
Then made angle plates to weld to the frame to stop the seat from going back to far and welded it in place.
