[Healeys] seat installation

[John Spaur]

I installed mine on top of the carpet which I believe to be correct. If you
don't do it that way you will end up with a little sliver of carpet forward
and aft of the belt attachment that will flop around.

Another seat question. By BT7 did not have seat belts when originally built.
I have purchased the hardware but don't know if the door side seat belt
anchor is on top of the carpet or if the carpet trimmed around the anchor
bracket? Picture of bracket is attached.

 

Thanks ... Harold

Len, 

There should be both a wood strip and a metal plate. I decided to glue my
carpet to my sound/heat material feeling it would shield against wet carpets
rusting my floorboards and trans tunnel . I could not get the snaps to pull
the carpet down smoothly and it just looked terrible. The factory would have
cut the carpet around the metal and wood, so you could remove your carpet to
dry it out when it got wet. Much cheaper than actually working to keep the
cars from leaking in the rain.\:)

Bob and Brad:  Curious about this thread, I took a look at my seat
installation.  Without removing the seat, wood, and alleged metal plate, I
can say that my assembly sits ON the carpet.  The carpet and seat
installation was done quite a while ago.  I may have referenced the Moss
video but can't remember.  However, as a novice doing this for the first
time, I would have used the "remove/replace in reverse order" system
implying that that was how the original seat was installed.  I can not see
if there is a metal plate in there but I do not see a picture or listing of
such a plate in the Moss catalog, Seat Frames, Foams, Fittings..

The carpet is cut to accommodate the seat slides.

 

The seat slides sit on a piece of wood packing, which sits on a metal strip,
which sits on the floor sheet metal.

 

I can send photos if you like.

I am about to install my newly done seats over my new carpet and have a
question. Do the seat slides lay on and bolt thru the rear carpet pieces or
do they mount directly to the floor and the carpet cut around the slides?
