[Healeys] seat installation

Sat Oct 19 05:08:08 MDT 2019

If a snap is installed on the front of that ‘little sliver of carpet’ then there is no problem.  We always cut out around the seat runners.

Cheers…..Bob

I did likewise, but this method kind of negates the pull-the-carpet-when-it-gets-wet theorem. I agree with John,though, that if one did cut the carpet the slivers of carpet left would flop around and soon tear off.

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?
