if it is the typical aftermarket one wacky is right there are 2 vynil covered cardboard panels that cover the ft seatbelts they go on the sides. Also the treaded holes for the rear seatbelts are already there on the outside they are plugged with a rubber plug you will have drill 2 holes in the tunnel for the inners though

Meeeeee tooooo. Hoping to score a rear seat this season too. I heard a FCC rear seat can work as well with a little massage of course. Am I informed correctly on this?

Unless you have a small ***, or you're a midget or less than 10 yr old kid, I dont see the purpose of having a rear seat on a SA/FB. Unlike a FC, there is no leg and head room, not to mention you're sitting on top of the rear axles; functionality over appearance. and yes, I previously owned a FC with a rear seat.

Hello, I’m pretty new on here, but i couldn’t see anywhere in this thread a source or website for getting a hold of some rear seat brackets/latches. Would you be able to point me in the right direction, I can’t seem to find them anywhere for love nor money.

Nobody makes them new. The backseat is super rare inn then US. You could place a Want-To-Buy in this forum market place or Facebook.

Yeah i know which is a shame, but i love the look inside the car, feel like it keeps the classic style/look of the car. I use the footwells for fluids and spares at the minute anyway!
