Monza 2+2 Folding Rear Seat Attachment????

Postby Malcolm7 » Sun Sep 01, 2013 10:13 am

I am trying to reconstruct a 1980 Monza 2+2 which was dissembled when purchased. The interior is not all original and looks to be a mix of Vega and Monza parts - especially the seats. All are in nice condition.

My question is how the upper folding section of the rear seat attaches to the body.

I see the holes in the side trim panels for two brackets on each side - upper and lower. I do have the upper brackets which serve as a stop when the seat is unfolded. I do not have the lower brackets.

Also it is not clear how either of the brackets attach to the body. There are no holes in the body at the sides where the brackets should fasten. I should point out that this car was repaired behind the rear seat with some new sheet metal many moons ago, so some attachment points may have been lost. The sides have not been altered.

Any guidance on this issue will be appreciated.

Also can any suggest a source for brackets?
