Front Seat frames

Post by hansel » Tue Sep 16, 2014 6:27 pm

Are the left and right seat frames identical? I can't find the info in the manuals I have, probably there but hiding. I have 3 seats, both have loops near the top on the right side of the vertical back piece. My new seat covers have a cutout for the loops, but one is on the left and one on the right of the seat back cushion. Do I have one wrong seat frame or are the cushions made wrong? What are the loops for, shoulder belt go through them? Thanks Al Hansel 507-528-2780

the seat frames are the same for both sides, except the ambulance seat on the passenger side is hinged. the loop on the side is for a strap that goes through the seat frame loop and clips to the eye bolt on the passenger side dash. real shoulder belts are only present if you have the complete ROPS system installed.

So does this mean my canvas is wrong since one back cushion has the hole for the loop on the right side and one has it on the left?

I would say yes, the loops are all on the right side of the seat. Just cut the loop off of the drivers seat. Nobody will ever notice, especially with the cover on.
