Seat help... what am I missing?
Hey guys, a little newby help... with time constraints with kids and life, I've been tinkering on my build for over a year now. I just got my seat back from upholstery and I cant get it to stay upright? Its a fixed bench seat out of a mid 90's chev truck, I believe a 1996 ish.
There are two bolts on the hinge. One is a regular bolt that looks like a pivot, the other is a torx. I've tried tightening both... What am I missing? |

Re: Seat help... what am I missing?
Best bet is to find a stock late model with a similar seat and see how the latch works and figure out what you are missing. I'd think the latch got left off at some time in the process.

Re: Seat help... what am I missing?
Can't help you with the seat, but that's a nice looking truck! Maybe a build page with some more details...

Re: Seat help... what am I missing?
Uh.... Call the upholstery shop. You just paid for them to redo it right? Pretty sure they should be able to answer the question.

Re: Seat help... what am I missing?
starterman99: Thanks! could be the case, but it sure seems like it was fixed???
iowaboynca: I have about 100 pics throughout the build. but my biggest peeve is a build thread that spreads across a year. once i'm more or less finished i'll get one posted, start to finish rambow: youre right, that was the first call i made before i posted the thread. they were helpless, and will attempt upholestry myself before taking any more business to them Posted via Mobile Device |
