Topic: Decoding Seat Rail

[Ralf]

Hi,
Have a question on decoding a seat rail (adjuster)

Stamped on metal
8   10
8   11

What does it mean? Built date? Which?

Example:

Thx
Ralf


EDIT: Asume it is August, 10th, respectively August, 11th. But what about the year?

I believe you have guessed correctly and those are the dates as you have decoded them. As you've likely seen in the decoding article in the library or other threads Ford stamping plant didn't always include a year in the stamping patterns so this fits in well with that trend or practice

Thx Jeff.


Means, I do have originals, but don't know the year

Early 67 seat tracks had the separate bolt plate slide under the track and through the hold down stud just like 65/66. The 67 later version seat track had the plate swedged securely onto the stud so that it would not come off like the earlier style does.

Hi Bob, Would be nice if you could post some pics (if available) to show up the differences.

I can’t manage that for a couple days because I am traveling and don’t have access to my files. Hopefully Jeff S will oblige on my behalf otherwise I will do when I get home.

Here's some pictures I took in 2012 of seat tracks. The first is a set of 67-68 type tracks with the built in plate. The second and third are a 64-66 type with a slotted end. The fourth and fifth are a 64-66 type with a hole in the end.
The pictures are for reference only. Actual application is subject to dispute, discussion and disagreement.
