Seat Installation Diagram - Rails, Steel Spacer & 8mm Bolts on Factory Mount

Schematic showing a seat mounting setup with labeled seat rails, steel spacer, factory mount and 8mm bolts.

AI caption · Photo 84 of 86

This document is a simple hand-drawn schematic (side-profile diagram) showing how an aftermarket or replacement seat is mounted to a vehicle's factory seat mounting points. The drawing depicts a bucket-style seat sitting on top of a stack of mounting hardware. Four labeled callouts identify the components from top to bottom: the seat rails (noted as 'Seat rails included' with the seat), a steel spacer placed between the seat rails and the vehicle floor bracket, the factory seat mount underneath, and 8mm bolts that fasten the assembly. Two bolts with upward-pointing arrows at the bottom of the diagram indicate that the 8mm bolts are inserted from below, passing up through the factory seat mount and steel spacer into the seat rails. The document contains no year, make, model, part numbers, torque specifications, or dimensions other than the 8mm bolt size. It was uploaded to a 1979 Pontiac Firebird gallery, but the diagram itself is generic and does not state any vehicle applicability. A reader can learn the mounting stack order (seat, included rails, steel spacer, factory mount) and the fastener size (8mm) needed for this seat installation.
