[Healeys] Easily removable 4 seater rear seat pans?

[ATIGHTPROD at aol.com]

The first Austin-Healey I owned also had self tapping screws through the  
leather and the seats right in to the metal underneath. I don't know if the  
previous owner did this modification or it came that way, but I bought the 
car  in 1970 and it had already been reupholstered. So maybe the guys doing 
the work  thought this was the way to go. Or they lost everything when they 
took the  interior apart and made it up as they put everything back together. 
    But it worked very nicely and with nice chromed,  recessed washers the 
chrome screws sat flush and looked good.

Yes Jensen did when they fitted the two back seats to an  Austin-Healey for
the first time.

In my car, which is the very first  AH to be fitted with the extra seats 
they
are each held in by four self  tapping screws through the leather and 
tractor
seats. Very sophisticated  they were with their prototypes.

Only Abingdon would make it more  complicated.
