General Discussion / Re: 1967 fold down rear seat instead

« on: March 15, 2025, 01:23:46 PM »

Here's an example of the floor brackets and partition panel channel that you'll need to weld in. All the parts places probably sell them.

If there are brackets for securing your original upper seat back to the trunk divider panel, those would need removed. 67s had a simpler latch mechanism than 68-69s. The flat partition panel for a 67 convertible is specific. I can't recall but there might be dimples in factory sheet metal for the top trim screws for that panel.

I checked my old AMK catalog and they didn't have that p/n listed in the back, just 469 then 472

This diagram may help show which one you need. Maybe the one in view D?

I don't think they were exact on where it was mounted, unless there were dimples in the cowl to mark where to drill. Looks like it generally straddles the "X" stamp. The 67 AIM doesn't show any specific measurements for drilling holes. This is from an 11B 67 LOS car.

Can you post a few pictures? If I'm a betting man, I'd lean towards the Firebird owning the trim, not the Camaro.

Here's some at Classic Industries:

I've never seen the ones with that vinyl strip at the top, seems to be on some of the OER carpets. Not sure what the benefit is for having that go under the top trim strip, when the entire carpet is glued to the seat back. Nor do I recall that on my seat back carpet when I did the first resto back in the mid 80s. And I would think Firebirds were the same carpet as Camaros.

I wonder if that linked PDF is just active manufacturers as-of the 2014 date in the link, or an "all-time" list of both active and inactive manufacturers.

Not sure what picture you saw on this site, but the L30 did not get the chromed valve covers and air cleaner lid. Did you see this CRG report yet? The illustration at the right near the bottom is of a L48, while the one at the top left is an L30 with painted valve covers.
