Question for the gurus out there.
I’m looking for a pics of a stock EB passenger seat withOUT the footman loop latch that was added around 69/70? Specifically I’d like to know if these seats had a locking mechanism from the top/back/lumbar portion of the seat to the bottom/seat/butt portion like all (66-77) DRIVER side seats had. I know there were some early years SEAT TO FLOOR locking mechanisms that were different from the 70-77 footman loop locking mechanism but I’m more interested in seeing the 66-69 fold forward seat top/back to bottom/butt latch mechanism/hardware? Did these early 66-69 EB passenger seats have the loop bracket that screws to the side of the bottom seat frame like all 66-77 EB DRIVER side seats.
I’m mixing and matching a bunch of mustang/cougar seat parts along with some custom fabrication, to make a “proper” passenger side EB seat that ford should have done in the first place rather than making a couple cost effective mods to driver side mustang seats. Like most EB mods/projects I’ve gotten waaay over budget with both time and money on this.
BONUS QUESTION:
Anyone have a pic of the folding mechanism on a 1970 mustang/cougar PASSENGER high back seat? After a lot of digging I think this is the only ford seat that has the same low position passenger folding seat release that can be used to match a stock driver side EB seat latch position. (Yes I’m well aware that Mustang passenger side seats won’t fully work in an EB because they contact the center raised floor when folding/tumbling).
