Trying to find the post about the routing of the seat adjuster cables on the 1950 I'm working on.
Type in "seat adjuster" in the search field, and everything including "back firing through carby" comes up. (Not sure how this relates to seat adjusters, but it must.)
What am I not doing to make it easier to search for items?
Trying to find a decent picture or diagram on how the cables are run. I printed off some instructions with a few pictures, but it's not very clear. Could be my feeble eyes too.
Anyway, if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong on the "search" I will do my best to do better. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | I have a few individual pictures of my seat frame in this folder ...link... unfortunately the pics are not that good but take a look. I didn't need to disassemble the seat frame cable system. good luck Can't help you with the search but I have a few pics in the above link The last three pics are off the hamb and not the cable type I have it's a hard system to photograph. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 | Thanks, that helps quite a bit.. How many feet of cable?
I already see where I don't have anywhere near enough cable since it looks like it routes through the back trough twice.
The seat is in the truck at this time, but I think I will pull it out like the ones in your pictures.
Thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Not sure how much cable, I've never disassembled the two pieces.
It looks like a complacted system, but it works on my truck.

But I think the pictures will help a lot. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | On my '50 the cable is a single loop that crosses over itself in the back channel.

I'm gonna try to do a simple drawing to show how the cable is routed. If it works out to resemble any kind of useful art I'll make it public. If it looks like my stick figure drawing......... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 | I'm gonna try to do a simple drawing to show how the cable is routed.

Do you have photos or a drawing of how it's installed? Thanks | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,636 | These aren't mine, but they helped a lot. As was already said, it's one long cable that loops and in the back trough is where the cables cross. Hard to get pictures because some of the cabling is kinda hidden. https://picasaweb.google.com/gv50chevy/1950ChevySeatBeltLocation# | | |
