Questions about seat latches and Rallye light bars
« on: November 02, 2015 - 08:43:01 PM »
Does anyone know if there are repop parts available for the bucket seats in my '70 Challenger? The passenger seat latches up great but the drivers side latch does not lock up. How do you properly determine the difference between a standard dash light bar and a Rallye dash light bar? I saw that someone here was looking for a light bar and I have three on a shelf and was curious. Does the difference come from the number of bulb sockets or the number of light lenses? :dunno:

Thanks.
I forgot to mention that 1970 Challenger light bars are unique to that car. Another "one year one car" part.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the pictures and the help. Guess I should have been more clear on the question regarding the seat latches :banghead: What I was needing to know is are parts available for the latch release button(s) on the side of the seat. Car is a '70 Challenger. :bigsmile:

Maybe? Not sure! My bucket seats have push buttons (maybe 1 1/4" long) that unlatch the seat and allow the seat to go forward. I am in need of the complete set up. Thanks.
