bmaxwell Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hello All! Both front seats on my '63 don't want to stay in place - the passenger's slides all the way forward when braking and the driver's slips all the way back when accelerating. I know it has to do with the either the seat adjustment track lock spring and/or the seat pullback spring. Both seats have track lock springs, but I suspect they are not the correct units. I pulled the driver’s seat and there is no seat pullback spring at all. I cannot locate any of these springs as replacements on the web. Any suggestions and or dimensions with strength requirements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I don't know if those seats have been out recently, but years of greasy dirt buildup will cause problems like this. Although the track 'lock spring' is probably not functioning correctly, a good 'cleanout' of those tracks with carb cleaner or brake cleaner, ....then a good lube job, would no doubt help a lot.
