Re: What Are These For??

Here is what was done on the prewar Clippers and several of the postwar models. The seats and springs are bit different but maybe conventional bodies used a similar method of attaching the spring to one of the braces. Other postwar models had the spring directly attached to the seat tracks.
On Clippers the spring is located on the left upper side of the trans tunnel with the front fixed mounting tab welded to the floor. It is a special spring with the front hook normally centered on the spring but the rear hook goes out to the side. The rear hook inserts into a hole on the side of a front to back brace. In the parts book the spring for the conventional bodies looks like a normal spring with centered hooks and if that is the case maybe the attachment is hidden under a brace.
