M-38A1 Driver's Seat Question...

Post by OKCM38CDN »

I am getting ready to mount the driver's side seat and looking over the SNL it calls for 3 bolts (two of one type and one of a different type).

My question is on the front left of the seat is a leg with a hole in it, it appears to sit against the fuel tank. Is there supposed to be a rubber plug or cushion there to prevent damage to the tank. If so I cannot seem to find it in the SNL.

TIA

OOPs - When all else fails test fit the seat before asking question... :-)

The point that I asked about is the place where it attaches to the body in the door. I inadvertently filled that hole when I was doing the body work. Now just need to drill it out and put the bolt and nut in place...
