E Body bucket seat hardware - 05/16/08 04:23 AM
Freshened up the bucket seat tracks in my 70 E body w/ paint and 2 NOS knobs (2583623) and looking at the under side hardware. First, the NOS knobs didn't come with a new set screw, and can't find a part number in parts catalog for one, any clues?
The LH seat looks to be missing a 'guide' - the RH side has one, and the PC only calls out for one on the RH seat (2486994.)
The PC calls out for 1 hook (2942556) per seat. The PC also calls out for 2 wires (3454001) for the LH seat, but mine only has one. Is this correct? And why two hooks if there is only one guide for RH seat?
The LH wire is too short to 'stretch' to meet the hook, so the hook is useless with this wire.
I must be missing the bigger picture, is there anything out of the ordinary that some one here notices?
Maybe the wire is the wrong one - too short? Or do both seats get a guide and parts catalog is wrong?
Thanks guys for any help on this.
Hey dgt71 - good one brother...touché!

along with the entire track assemblys later after tracks were degreased and brass wire brushed lightly to remove anything loose. The little side springs were removed and reinstalled later after 
/ new grease for tracks - took a page out of a previous thread where minor touch-up with a brush and paint in the can's lid for any scratches, etc.
which we see from our pics differs from the LH seat wire (its shorter & assigned w/ a different part#) and since my RH seat only has the 1 wire...I was still in the dark if I needed a second. 
thanks guys & thanks to Moparts.
