Default Seat tracks




I have a 69 with 70 seats in it. When I removed the drivers seat the track doesn’t look right. The rear bracket looks turned around 180 degrees. There was a piece of flat bar that bubba out there to hold the seat in place. Can I turn this bracket back around to original position.

You could turn the rear bracket around but since the hole on the other side of the bracket was cut off, it will not line up with the threaded bracket in the floor to screw in to. That's probably why it was turned around in the first place. You will either have to weld a flat piece of metal to the bracket and drill a hole in it, get a new bracket to rivet on to the track, or replace the track altogether.

The passenger seat track has both holes I can swap them.I was more concerned wether I can turn it around without removing the rivet. Thanks
