M38 Passenger Seat Bracket

Post by sonny »

The tilting passenger seat on my M38 does not have an outboard bracket on the bottom of the seat frame to rest on when in the upright position. Anyone have a photo of what the bracket looks like and where it is positioned or attached - don't see any holes where one might have been. My block of wood works well but doesn't have that "original look." Thanks

If the seat is not bent and the right rear wheel house is completely stock then the seat will rest on the small ledge on the wheel house.

Thanks Wes - my bracket is in place but it appears that the inboard support has been replaced and holds the seat too high to reach the outboard wheel well bracket - should be an easy fix
