David,
Now I just finished re-installing my seats the other day after installing my
rebuilt engine.
So let me tell you how I did it.
The levers on my 58 seem to fit best if they are mounted on the outside facing
the doors.
Now the seat track that mounts to the floor will have the lip facing in
towards the other track part. The top track parts will sort of hook there
and the lip will face the door on the lever track and the track part without
the lever will face the drive shaft tunnel.
Same for both seats.
Does that help?
Bob
