Barracuda Folding Seat Mechanism Parts

[Dana67Dart]

Well I'm real close to having a full set of repair/rebuild parts for the folding seat latch mechanism for 67-69 Barracuda.

I currently have the Cam in stock, the Lever and Knob I will be ordering shortly.

The bushing I will find a suitable hardware store replacement and the sleeve I can print myself.

Dana, I would love to see this 3D printer in action. I cannot wrap my head around how these make Steel Parts in your basement !

The metal I farm out.

The plastic I do at home.

McMaster-Carr has all kinds of bushings in all kinds of materials and a good search engine.

I have been doing a lot of searching and there are close ones but nothing really close. A member here found a brass one the has worked, I 3d printed one that came out great. But I need the seat frame part, (on my picking list for next march) "I'm going to need a hack saw"

Turns out the seat frame is not needed, the bearing (bushing) goes into the hinge and just passes through the frame

On a side note...

OEM plastic sleeve

Rev 1 of 3D printed sleeve

Rev 1 sleeve, rev 4 chrome knob plastic chrome paint

Getting so close I'm almost ready to send the files off to metal printing



Another side note....

When I removed this OEM chrome knob from the lever I noticed the hole in the knob and the hole in the lever did not line up.

If anyone has these two parts loose and can confirm that the holes don't line up I would appreciate the info.

I can realign the hole in the chrome knob to match the hole in the lever if the lever hole is always off center like it is.
