Bucket seat hinge
« on: September 22, 2016, 08:36:43 AM »
I haven't checked my manuals, but I thought I'd start here.

On the bucket seat hinge, is they anything this is supposed to be (or recommended to be) installed before the chrome helmet-looking cap is installed? A fiber washer? A metal clip?

I hope my question/description makes sense. Thanks.

There is a fiber washer that goes on first, then the backrest, followed by the chrome cap.
Nothing goes between the seat hinge and the helmet looking cap.

Just about any reseller has the caps. Ames, Year One, Fusick Olds, they all have em.
64-65 Chevelle, GTO/Lemans, Olds 442/Cutlass, Skylark/Gran Sport, all the same.
