63 seat back pivot bolt

[Michael G.]

The seat back pivot bolts on my 63 appear to be too long. They go through the seat frame by at least .38 inch and interfere with the slide, thus limiting fore/aft seat travel during adjustment. The threaded portion of the bolt is .88 in long (not including the shoulder). Does anyone have an original bolt they can measure (or a print)?

Thanks,

[Edward J.]

Mike, I have a original seat pivot bolt the threaded part is 1/2 long. Who did you get the replacement bolts from?

Ed, the bolts were on the car when I got it, so I have no idea where they came from. 1/2 inch of thread sounds about right, I'll shorten them. Silly bolts cost me 6 points on ops...the seats were a bit sticky, but travel wasn't reduced, then on ops check, one bound up on the bolt

Thanks,
