Need 70 Cuda seat latch info
« on: May 19, 2013 - 04:35:00 PM »
I'm missing side catch and the latch for both sides and have located where to buy them thanks to you guys.

But, Without having the latch yet, I'm not sure how the button on side of seat activates it other than it has a rod that pushes inward. Is this ALL of the parts that's needed other than the button on the side that I already have ?

Well on the Ebay latch I cannot see how it releases , the 70 side latch is 1 year only with simple push pin, 2-3-4 used a lever behind the seat not on the side so I doubt it is a universal fit , did you ask the seller about the latch release ?

I haven't asked the seller anything yet. I didn't know there was a difference between the 70 and later models though, thanks for pointing that out. What I'm unsure about is how the push pin side button activates the release, so I don't know if I'm missing more parts that I'm unaware of which is why I'm needing to know exactly what all is needed.

I honestly do not remember looking closely at the 70 seat release but I do nto see any way that release would work with a 70 style push pin
