do the cushions sit up on the raised bit? If so I will have to pass as with my height I need them as low as possible so I can see under the windscreen top.

Re: seat cushion brackets
Good spot.
There have been a number of members looking for these items, as they are fitted to post 1980 vehicles, unlike earlier models where the seat base is bolted to the seat box lids, post 1980 models have these.
Due to most being missing, a "Bodge" has often had to be made to secure the seats.
Yes, the seat bases sit "on top" of the rails, with metal tabs secured to the rear that slide under the "top hats" that overlap the rails at the rear.
I need a couple of these, so glad you spotted them.

Mal.

Re: seat cushion brackets
Did you notice who the seller is? It's Mark Cook (88LR on here).
I suspect he'll be ring a roaring trade in these.
Mark, if you see this, will you be doing the parts individually at all? I have the rails but not the other fixings.
Cheers
Steve

Re: seat cushion brackets
Yep my seat lids are a bodge and the seat brackets too (aluminium angle) so despite the height issue I decided what the hell I have to get some of these for originality sake.
Thanks for doing these Mark
Re: seat cushion brackets

Re: seat cushion brackets
Well,
Thanks to Mark (88LR) I will now be able to fit my seat bases properly
And I have ordered an extra 2 pair for my other late 80's LWt which is a few years down the line, but as they say "Get them while you can".
