Re: 76-77 LF
I thought I had a picture but I can tell you that there is a 2 inch or larger strip of wood running down each side which lays inside a molded pocket of the foam. The underside of the foam is contored to fit over the heat exchangers.

Re: 76-77 LF
what keeps the foam stuck to the wood
Re: 76-77 LF
you can also cut a 1/4" piece of plywood to the shape of the bottom of the seat. Then use T nuts to fasten in the rear. Use staples along the edge to fasten the seat cover to the wood.

Re: 76-77 LF
The wood is glued with the appropriate adhesive. As 427cobra said, install 1/4x20 Stainless T nuts in the wood first so you can anchor the seat to tunnel from underneath. Since the 76/77 Liquifres use tunnel heat exchangers, you cannot use a full solid piece wood under the seat, only the side strips.knighthawk wrote:harly if there is two strips of wood along the side how do they stay in place so they dont seperate

Re: 76-77 LF
When I had to repair one of my LF seats there were 2 or 3 strips on vinyl that went across the bottom to keep everything tight. Not sure if this was stock but I am pretty sure the seat was original.
