Re: [FWDLK] Seat bet kits for 57's

IMHO, a critical safety issue is the non-locked front seat back(s).

The mid-late 60's saw a VERY effective, simple locking device be
developed.

It is a little, unobtrusive,  spring-loaded lever, installed down LOW on
the seat back, that engages a locking stud, thru-bolted, or welded, to
the seat frame.

Unfortunately, for 1957 2-door hardtops, with a OEM power seat plastic
housing, there isn't
physical room, to mount that lever.

In 58+, the power seat switch-housing was a short-ish , chromed pot
metal, piece, which provides plenty of space to mount the locking
devices.

That low-down lever was replaced by a 'high-up', side-of-seat devise,
which is more convenient, but involves surgery, on the seat vinyl, & is
much-more complicated
