My 69 Bee’s front bench seat has an issue and I’m curious what is correct. When tilting either front side forward, the back cushion easily comes out of the side pivot post.
Is there suppose to be a cotter pin or something to hold it in place? Or is my lower arm bent out of alignment, because I’d have to really pound that arm in to get the post sticking out enough for a pin. But the pivot post on the driver side sticks out a little bit more than passenger side. Plus, my pivot posts don’t even have holes drilled, so I’d have to do that.
Looking at my 69 Parts Catalog seat diagram, I can’t make out any cotter pins being used. Nor does the FSM mention or show securing pins.
Now I’m wondering if the person who “restored” my Bee f’d up the seat back assembly and something’s out of whack.
