GH SE reclining seat.

Post by Phantom »

Has anyone got pictures of the GH SE, rear seat reclining mounts and mechanism?

I am doing a GH turbo replica (will start another thread soon). I acquired a GH GL parts car for its retro fitted blue SE interior and it has the reclining rear but not lever mechanism. The previous owner obviously hit a snag and removed it as the back rest was tied into position with rope. U-pull-it Gilman recently had an SE but in green and I didn't think to look at it when it was there.

From my basic assessment it seems the parcel shelf section will be different and there will be the reclining brackets mounted down low.

Sourced a reclining mechanism. Hopefully pick it up this week and it will clear up a few things.

Mounted up the mechanism today. Now I just need to make some clearance on the bolts for the top two keyhole mount holes. Then i have to chop out half of the parcel shelf to allow for the seat to actually recline.

are you going to have the seats trimmed in the correct material ?

At this stage it's not high on the list. The front seats are genuine turbo fabric but rear seat and door trims are SE versions.
