1957 Seat Tracks
My seats will not go all the way back. I had 2 washers between the track and the frame, but it still is not close to clearing the mounting bolts. I had to make 3/8 thick washers in order to get clearance.
I know that washers are often needed, but seeing how the factory did not do this, that is saying something is bent. It appears that the tracks themselves may be bent. The attached photos show a radius along the length of the track. So should the tracks be straight, or is the radius correct? The tracks slide back and forth okay, but it does take some effort. I'm wondering if the seat frames may also be bent some. Photos attached.
These seats are strategically designed with higher front brackets so you don't lean forward and slide off the seats.
