Bucket Seat Questions

[roadrunner57]

I purchased a set of aftermarket bucket seats for my 70 RR several years ago. Though it has a latch, the seat back release is missing and I have no idea what would work or where to find them. Any idea what years will work (if any) or will I have to manufacture them myself? Here is a link to these seats:

I have some seat back release levers from a 70 bench seat not sure if they were the same as buckets.

I have the original release from another set of seat frames, but they release from the back. The new aftermarket release from the side. You have to push in or have a mechanism with a pivot and that releases from the side. I can stick my figure in it and it releases, which my son suggested. Or I could keep a pencil handy and stick it in there. I paid good money for these guys and am sinking a bunch into the RR. Something like this is quite annoying, plus I cannot cover them until I figure this out.

Sounds like you need these.

ohhhhhhhh, I may already have them.

It’s pretty common for the release buttons to be broken on those They can be fixed.
