Re: [Chrysler300] 1961, 62 Convert Info Needed

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi Ken and All:
 
#1.  Both my "H" and "F" converts have the plywood seat back screwed  to the 
metal crossmember.  Since I have had the "F" apart most recently, I  clearly 
remember four screws for it.   I am not sure why you wouldn't  find any screw 
holes.  The board traps the rear quarter inner trim panel  (the one with the 
arm rests) on both sides.  I think the outer of the four  board retaining screws 
may go thru both, but don't quite remember.
 
#2  The boot cover utilizes an extruded aluminum channel that is  attached to 
the plywood rear surface with 8 tiny countersunk head screws.   It is located 
roughly 1 7/8 inches below the upper edge of the plywood at its  centerline.  
Your plywood should show evidence of this for location.   On the 300H this 
surface is vinyl covered.  On the "F" it is bare black  painted plywood below 
the channel (kind of ugly).  I am not familiar with  the sport 300 boot front 
attachment, but from what I can gather out of the  parts book, all Chrysler 
converts used the same.  They list a "large  insert" channel as 2160 567 and a 
"small insert" one as 2410 007.  I don't  know the difference.  My "H" and "F" 
are the same.  Unfortunately, I  have no extras.  Sorry!
 
Hope this is of some help.
300ly, Gil C.

Anyone  out there, with a F,G,H convert, provide me;

1.  Details on how  the rear (carpeted) plywood seat back board is 
attached to the cross frame  structure?  I find no screw holes in the 
metal cross structure that  the board is set against- so I wonder if the 
backside of the board is  suppose to have attached hooks, that engage the 
many slots in the upper  cross structure piece, and just hangs in place?

2. How dose the front  edge of the top boot cover attach to the top edge 
of the (above) plywood  back board?  Does it use metal snaps, on the top 
edge,  or a  horizontal alum strip similar to the 62-300 sport (and 
earlier non 300  converts?) converts?  If the sport 300 type alum  
(channel  shape) strip is what's  used - dose some one have one to sell 
or an  idea of a substitute?

Appreciate any words of help - thanks!
