1983 Cherokee - Rear Seat

Post by refinemrh »

I am in the process of rebuilding my cherokee after a 3 year restoration. I may have misplaced the hw to attach the upright rear seat to the bottom frame. The TSM does not have any good diagrams. Does anyone have pictures or know what hw is needed?

Any help would be appreciated.

Should be a picture in one of the parts manuals, free to read and download at the Tom Collins site. Looking at the '62-73 book, there's not much there. Group 29, plate 3 shows the seat, but there's little hardware. Uses a latch in later versions, but that's not what you are asking.

Also do not tighten the bolts, there is some adjustments to center the bench, as seen here, the support holes are not round, so you can slide the supports as needed
