My 41 business coupe required installing new floors and did not have the original front seat but I did find the wood that was under the floor between the frame and the floor where the seat frame mounts. The holes are in the top of the frame that match the holes in the wood. I have procured an original front seat with holes in the base that match the wood that I saved. My question pertains to the "locating" 1/4 bolt in the wood that must go through the floor near the front mounting bolt. There are also 2 wood screw holes in the wood that are about centered - they do not go through the wood. there was also what looked like thin cloth that I am guessing went between the wood and the floor. Would appreciate any info concerning my questions - thanks.

The 40 Business Coupe had wood hanging down under the seat on both sides of the torque tube hump. they were held to the bottom of the seat with L shaped brackets that were scr*w*d into the wood and into the bottom of the seat. This may have been carried over into 41????

The 41 seat does have those pieces of wood, but I am interested in the wood that is under the floor beneath the seat between the frame and the floor. Found some of the original floor and it looks like the wood is scr*w*d under the floor with a thin piece of material between floor and wood, the seat bolts go through the seat track , then through the floor , then through the wood under the floor , then through the holes in the top frame rail. Just reading about mounting seat belts to floor and not to frame, interesting when it looks like the seat is meant to be bolted to the frame. Anybody have any knowledge of the seat mounting. I was told that the holes in the top frame rail are for the seat mounting and they do match up perfectly. I also just realized that the hump in the new floor is too high for the seat frame to sit flat - have to cut down the center hump to make it lower so the adjusting rod and seat frame clears.
