I have a rear fold and tumble seat as well as the brackets for my '79 CJ-7. My question is where do the side panel brackets go in the back? How do you go about getting them into the correct position? I don't want to drill holes and be wrong! Thanks in advance for the input. :???:
fold the seat down, like you are sitting in it, with the back upright. the side panel brackets will sit over the bolts that stick out the side of the seat back
here are some pics
found them online because i cannot access pics from work
Thanks for the info. Do the bolts actually rest in the bracket? Do the brackets bear weight? In the pics it looks as if the brackets are tilted back just slightly so they are not vertically straight, is that correct?
Yes, they tilt. When you flip the seat up, the bolts move into th bracket so the bracket keeps the seat from flipping up or forward in case of a sudden stop or accident
