69 Seat Frame Repair
I noticed this part says it will work for 70-78 seat frames. Will it work for a 69? Is there a difference in the lower seat frame of a 69 than that of a 70-78?

The rear area of the seat bottom is different between 68/69 and later (backrest locking mechanism). So I don't think the mentioned reinforcement will fit (perfectly).
These are 69 seat frames:

Yes. 68-69 lower frames are different because of the seat back releases, but the techinique of the repair might work.

while you are sourcing parts you need to get the new nylon washers for where the seat bottoms and seat tops pivot.....this is a critical component and ususally have to be ordered

Anyone know why one side of the bottom of the later model seat frame is tapered over (see pic) the lower frame of the 69 appears to have striaght sides. ??????

Take any damaged seat frames to a local welding job shop. Ask them how much to add support metal where it needs it on your frames. They can fix them easily.

I thought the OP indicated he couldn't find any for a '69 C3.
