Keith-wc42

Thanks for your reply Nick. Gordon, i would imagine both the wc42 and wc11 drivers and passenger seats would have been the same. It looks like the end result here will be copying the passenger seat mounts and fitting them to the drivers seat, ending up with both seats tilting forwards and no adjustment in the drivers seat. I need to get this passenger seat (which is actually the drivers seat) sorted out though....Someone let me out of a junction today and when i set off my wife almost ended up doing a backflip in her seat.

I am looking for info/pics of the drivers seat adjusting mechanism/mounts. My Dad sadly passed away earlier this year and i am now trying to finish off his WC42 that he left to me. (Its not for sale and won't be) The tilting passenger seat is bolted into the drivers position and the drivers seat is in the passengers position just resting on a wooden block (not very safe for my passengers). In my Dads photos, he has named them correctly...ie photos of the drivers seat he has named passenger seat, so he must not have had the sliding mounting system for the drivers seat and no way to fasten it into position. Attached are a couple of photos. One shows the tilted up passenger seat thats bolted onto the drivers seat mounts. The other is the loose drivers seat. Does anyone have any photos of the missing sliding mounting sytem for this seat?

Hello Nick, thanks and nice panel Van. There is a file on my Dad's hard drive with photos of your Dodge, so I will have a look through them later.

(This job has een done now) I am looking for the original measurements of the wooden blocks that sit in the running board/side step brackets for the Dodge WC11. Mine has none, so the steps are sitting too low with a gap between them and the bottom of the body. It would be a simple enough job to just custom make a set so the steps sit at the right hight, but i would like to have the original measurements if possible. The rear bracket on the side shown in this photo bends down a bit and needs bending back up which will help reduce the gap a little, then the wooden blocks will do the rest. Thanks.
