carpet cutouts for 74 coupe seats

[Bruce D.]

I need some guidance and or pictures to make the seat cutouts for my 74 coupe. I think that only the front mounts have the cuts and that the rear seat mounts just go over the carpet. I am not getting anyu hits for C3 carpet, and the C2 hits reference pictures, but I do not see/get them for some reason. Any help appreciated. thanks

Bruce, Go to the members list and pull up Patrick Hulst name and click on his web site, with his 1972 5 star bowtie car with many pic.s. this should be the same as 74. its very simple for the cut outs. and there have been many posts on this should be in the archives.

Hi Bruce,
Here's some pictures of how I laid out the area to be cut.
I located the rear bolt first and then pivoted the track into place and stuck a needle up through the bolt hole and carpet, from the underbody, to make sure of the location for the cut required for the front bolt.
It's one of those things you want to get right the first time.
Regards,
Alan

Since you guys have some experience with this carpet cut-out, any idea if the 69 had a similar installation.
Thanks in advance,

This is how I did my 1970, placed the seats on a piece of cardboard, made a template. Put straight pins in the center of the bolt holes lined it up in the car. then from underneath put straight pins up again to align. the front of the seats has a flap covering the seat track and bolt so you can lay that out with masking tape from around the template.
