Stamminator Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Need some help guys! I went to start my bench to buckets conversion today by removing the factory power bench seat in my 70 M/C. The motor (or switch, or mechanism) hasn't worked for many years and is stuck in the most rearward position. Thus, I cannot move the seat forward to access the rear mounting bolts. Is there a way to manually move the seat forward? Or some other removal trick I can't see here? Thanks in advance for any guidance! Quote
MC1of80 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 The only ways I know are, use a wrench and manually take the nuts/bolts out. Or if you can, take the cables off of the motor/engine going to the transmissions and put a drill on the end and try to move the motor that way. The cables are like speedometer cable. Quote
Stamminator Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 MC1of80: You da man! I had a broken cable, so I cannibalized it to make a drive cable on my drill, like you said. Moved each side a bit at a time, so it wouldn't bind and got it moved forward like a champ! If I get to NY anytime soon, I'll buy you an adult beverage! Best, Jeff. Quote
MC1of80 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Glad it worked. If you get to NY, we will have that beverage! Lolol Quote
Rob Peters Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 You could both meet up at the Eastern Meet in Carlisle for the 50th Anniversary of Monte Carlo at the end of June.... Heck, we have happy hourS there each night. rob Quote
MC1of80 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Planning to be there Rob. As long as the event is held. Who knows at this point if it will be. Fingers crossed that it will be held. 🙏 Quote
Rob Peters Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Thomas, I just sent you a private message here on the boards. For Thomas and others, I heard from my Carlisle Events contact and with the state opening up again it looks like this show will go on as scheduled. This is the information you and I have been waiting for. I will keep everyone updated to any changes in this information as I get it Thank you for your patience in this. rob Quote
