[b]Subject:[/b] Re: [mg-tabc] Seat Back
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.

[b]Subject:[/b] Re: [mg-tabc] Seat Back
Hi Steve,
The seat back is positioned in relationship to the bottom of the seat base. 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.
Regards
NickTC 4222 and TC7142

Is there a consensus about how high the seat back is supposed to sit
above the body? Also, is the bottom supposed to touch the floor or does
it sit up slightly?
