Hi friends! I'm Mike, I've long been a "resident" in the bay window forums but after selling my beloved 77 Westy for my first home have found myself now in the position where I may be buying a friends 64 for a real comfortable price. A happy and solid little car that could serve me well for many years.
Because it's really already a great driver, I'm coming to you not with pre-purchase questions but rather to find out more about these camper/seat hinges I have read about. Does anyone know about these? Have a set? What do I search for in the classifieds other than "seat hinges" which brings up many hits for standard hinges.
Thanks!
Mike

I've only seen one set in person. They are one a co-workers '65. He sold the car to his brother and he's doing a resto mod. I've been trying to get the seat adjusters from him for a year lol. I wish I had taken pictures of them when I was doing some work on the car for him. A cool item for sure. Good luck on your search
