Default 56 corvette seats

Looking for some help with installing seats in my 56. The car was disassembled when I got it years ago. Finally getting interior back in the car and want to know how the seat cushions attach to the seat frames. I see the frames have two small tabs with a small 1/4" size holes in them down around where seat bottom and back comes together. Assuming the cushion attaches there but the cushion/springs don't have anything I can see that attaches there also don't see anything that the backrest can attach to on the frame. Any help is appreciated. Would like to see anyone's pictures of how the seat attaches to frame so I can see if I'm missing something.
Thanks
Kevin

On the back off the upright frame there are two angled hooks that slide over the top of the frame. There are two tabs at the bottom of the frame that bend over the bottom of the frame. After the back is on, slide the rear of the bottom seat under the back and the seat bottom pops down in the seat frame. Hopefully that made sense. Neither one are bolted.

Thanks. That makes it seem pretty simple.. Thought maybe I was missing some kind of brackets or something. Thanks again
