70 e-body seat hinge covers
« on: March 05, 2012 - 04:58:17 PM »
Are they unique for e-body in 1970? I was told they should be in aluminum. I have newer seats from a 74-challenger, but are restoring a couple of, what I think is, challenger seats from -70 and they are missing the hinge covers. Anybody have pictures :clueless:

Welcome aboard here.   :wave:

The 70 style is probably nothing like the 74. Yes, they are aluminum. The 70 seats also have plastic panels on the back of them. This is a crappy picture, but it's all that I have on my computer.

I have a picture but not a very good one.  They are specific to 70 Challenger and specific to left or right side.  They are made of pot metal or an aluminum alloy but should be painted interior color--black in my car.  This one still installed on the seat frame , was refinished before going back into car.  I used Sem black after bead blasting.

70 E Body has one type of hinge with a plastic back, 71 and early 72 has another type with a plastic back, and mid 72 to 74 is another and is full material.

The 70 style side cover/seat backs were used into the first few months of 1971 also.
