On my car to move the front seat forward or backward there is a pull round metal knob of sorts under the seat on the left side. This “knob” is somewhat sharp with a cotter pin in the middle. My question is, when the car was new, was this adjuster a plastic knob of sorts, easier to grab and pull? I have not seen anyone selling a replacement.

This is a photo from driver’s side. Its more like a washer than a knob. Surely this is not original?

If I remember correctly the shaft/knob/cotter pin is actually the "equalizer" that makes both sides of the seat tracks move together. there should be a pedal like release on the front of the drivers seat that releases the seat to move--maybe that is missing. If it is then you could turn what you have to make the seat move.

Yes it is missing. To move the seat I had to pull on the washer and one side moved. Then to move the other side, you have to pull on the other washer to release the seat. I wish the front lever was being reproduced but I have never seen one.

You re showing part of the seat adjusting mechanism. There should be a lever on the front seat frame which has two rods. One rod goes to the left release mechanism and the other to the right mechanism. See photos.

Thanks guys for the info. The photo really helps me see what is missing.

Don's info is correct. Looks exactly what I have on my 1936 4 Door.
