TR4A Seat Query


Recommended Posts

I'm just in the process of refurbishing the seats in a 1966 4A.

 

I have noticed that on the right hand side of the passenger seat there is a post attached to the seat squab about 3" forward of the upright. This post looks as though it is for a 'lift a dot'. It looks as though it is original.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what this is for as I am stumped and if it is not needed certainly don't want it sticking through the new seat covers.

Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Michael

Sorry for the delay, unfortunately I have already removed it as I was never going to use the tonneau.

If you look at the seat frame though you should see a hole for the stud. From memory it looked like a regular stud for a 'lift a dot' type stud.

Hi Michael.

 

I took detailed pictures of my seats when stripping them down.

 

You can see the tonneau stud and location clearly.

 

The pictures are online here: http://tr4a.weebly.com/triumph-tr4a-trim.html

 

Best

I've got MX5 seats so I made a loop in the end of the tonneau strap and slip it over the hand brake lever. Works well keeping the flapping under control.
