Older Vanguard seat back pictures please?

[Rockyman]

Hi folks, I bought an older Vanguard and ripped it all apart for the purpose of replacing the starter and checking everything else out. The good news is that I got a lot of good info here about what to use to fix cracks on the top edge of the "bottom half" of the plastic "frame." It was of course West Systems, and I used 655 G flex and some silica. So this puppy is just about to finish going back together and putting the top half on. The bad news is that i forgot how the seat back goes back together. I have a new piece of plywood and I can see where to drill 3 holes to use threaded inserts. I can see that I go BEHIND the plastic frame and send in three screws that will contact the new plywood. That's great, but what holds the seat back "up" besides the plastic just behind the seat back? Certainly there is some support bracket that I am overlooking. I am at a loss. ANY pics you could send would be great. Finally, I love this site, because it is filled with tons of useful information that I am grateful for. Thanks, Rockyman

If you have a low back version there is no bracket and only the bolts hold it in place with washers (fender washers are best but perhaps not stock), if you wish to make a plate to span the 3 bolts that's not a bad idea. These were more a back pad than a seat back in those days.
Just as a reminder, after drilling the holes in the wood be sure to check that the Tnuts are going the right direction before tapping into the wood, have done it backward a few times over the years and sucks to have to re-recover the seats.

You have answered my question, Argojim!!!! I can't thank you enopuigh. I was losing a .little sleep over this because the plastic on the tub where you get in and out was cracked, so I could see how delicate the plastic was and became concerned. Thanks again!!
