Nova Bucket Seat Tracks

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

There are slight variations in the track designs, not surprising, the '68's are little bit different but can be made to work on the '69-'71 (possibly '72?). The '69+ design has open slots on the front feet to accomodate the tolerances. The '68 track did not, but could be opened up to make it fit.

On Benjamin's '69 the:
Rocker side track studs are 14.25"
Tunnel side track studs are 14.625"

On a friend's '69 the:
Rocker side track studs are 14.375"
Tunnel side track studs are 14.687"

On a friend's '68 the:
Rocker side track studs are 14.187"
Tunnel side track studs are 14.625"

On a friend's '68 the:
Rocker side track studs are 14.000"
Tunnel side track studs are 14.500"

I used a set of tracks from a trashed '68 Nova bucket seat to finalize Benjamin's seat track dilemma. Anyone need a black, '68 Nova, passenger side, bucket seat without tracks?

What marlin stated does make sense. I know mine measured 14 and 14.5 inches. Most likely why they made the 69-71 nova's front hole slotted was due to the placement of the brackets and after welding them to the floor the heat might of moved the brackets some. They needed room for error I guess!

In production terms, they are not errors. They are called loose tolerances.

M, I might need the other metal bracket that the tracks mount to...I will have to check.

Heck, take the whole seat!
