    What goes behind the kick panel on the cowl drivers side for an AC car?What stops the air from coming in? I know there is a vacuum door on the pass side. Pics if possible, as I cant find anything in the 72 assembly manual.

    Bucket Seat floor brackets

    Hope this helps... on my 70 parts car,both outer front mounts were bolts, the rest were studs...make sure that the spacing on your seat tracks are roughly 15 inches give or take front to back...I know other gm cars had a shorter distance roughly 12 inches....My 72 Custom has a different stud/ bolt hole arrangement than the 70. I'm not too sure about the 71's...What i did on my first 72 which was a bench car,used the original outer mounts and drilled where it should sit and bolted right through into nuts with washers....I didnt get any pics of that though..... Anyone else that can chime in to help?

    Power Bucket Seat Mount

    in Interior Tech

    Posted

    Interesting find last night as I was setting the non power bucket seat in my 72....According to the build sheet (for whats left of it) it said power drivers bucket seat...and the parts I go was a non complete power bucket seat. So I was just going too install my NON power bucket seat in its place....but as it turns out the mount is complete different on the floor between the two. The power seat mount is roughly 3 inches shorter front to back distance between the mounting points.... easily enough I was able to do some work and mount the non power in its place... Just struck me as a little odd that's all.
