tommy manta Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i'm on a rust seek and desroy mission today but i've been stopped by having no idea how to remove the rear seats of my A-series. what's the trick? i can't see any bolts anywhere. i bet i'm missing something really obvious but i'm stumped. the idea is to jenolite, red oxide and hammerite the whole interior and was hoping to finish it today. if anyone could answer this question in the next hour or so i'd be very grateful! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSoul Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Related question, if I may...? Did you see any 'factory' rear seat belt anchoring points while you had the seat/s out please? Thank you. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robjpage Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 possibly..... there are 2 threaded holes with bungs to seal them behind where the seat base and seat back meet. see pics but i couldn't see any other possible anchor points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not 100% sure it was on all but i had seen it on some A series before but that was years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSoul Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Thank you both 🙂 Two is a great starting point! I'll have a look in my car to see if the other two are there... If so, it's getting rear seat belts! If not, it won't as I do not want to drill new holes and we'll just have to avoid taking passengers in the back. Best wishes to all.

H-400 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Fitted once a new engine in a Manta A of a friend, was a '72. Did some more work and as you can see in the inner well there is a fixing point for a seat belt: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
