I am unable to find any information, or pictures, pertaining to restoration of the panel attached to the back of the rear seat, or the panel behind it, that hinges at the floor. I need to strip/rebuild both of mine with my new carpet,...
And I am unable to recall (imagine THAT!) where the two attachments for the cargo strap on my hinged panel are (a screw on the end of a strap, one each side of the panel). I think it's top and bottom of rear seat,...arrg!
Any pics, or redirection to a source, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks. Happy Motoring!
Todd.

Wow! Those pictures are absolutely PERFECT! JUST what I needed,...thank you SO very much!
I 'butchered' these panels with really crappy repro carpet over 25 years ago and now I can re-do it properly. I'll get onto stripping and re-carpeting today and post up some pics when I'm done.
Thanks again! I wasn't having any luck with my searches,...Perhaps this info will be able to be searched easier with the "rear seat/folding panel carpet" search words, now.
Todd.

Austin's rebuild thread (source of those pictures) goes down in my book as one of the best rebuild threads on Samba. He was like in high school working fast food during the rebuild. Wonder what he's doing now. NASA engineer maybe.
