The reference to what is regarded as being 'early' is from TC 0251 to TC 1850.

At the back centre of each seat base you should have a hinge/bracket (each half about 6 x 2 inches). One half is screwed to the seat base and the other slots into a metal bracket screwed onto the back of the seat base. This bracket is positioned so that the open end which accommodates the hinge is at the bottom edge of the plywood seat back. The seat bases are positioned first, then the seat back is dropped on to the free ends of the brackets. This is a bit fiddly so a second pair of hands is useful at this point. I can send photos if necessary but I think it should be clear.

Nick,

 

I think this applies to later cars. I m not sure but have a feeling the early cars have fixed bases.

Hi Nick/Steve,  on page 56 of Sherrell's TC's Forever,  it says very early seat backs were taller and sat on the floor behind the seat squab, but the later seat design has a longer squab and the 'seat back' sits on top of it.  

The reference to what is regarded as being 'early' is from TC 0251 to TC 1850. 

 

Also the earlier type of 'guide' for the hinged bracket is shown as having a swaged section about two thirds up with a thru tapped hole.
