These would be the forward most brackets attached to the floor - two more (can see one in one of the pictures) right in front of the rear fiberglass/plastic side panels  for the rear section of the floor cover. The one bracket on each of the wheel wells.

There are two brackets on the floor under the rear seat but those are not for the fold down.

Will not have access to the car again till next visit - next week

Mathieu,

I believe what you are asking about are brackets for the rear seat, lower section.  Attached is a picture with the area highlighted in red.  These would be the same for any body style I think.  If you need dimensions I would be able to do anything for about a week, perhaps someone else can.  This is for the ones with the four holes.

For the others, I'm not quite following.  Can you edit the picture you posted in MS paint or similar program, modify by highlighting the bracket(s), and reposting?

Ok lets try this From memory and using your picture. Sure others will help out if I miss something

Without an original car to measure you have a tough job. If any one of these is off by a couple of milometers panels attaching to them will not fit and you'll have to remove and re-weld it. And you normally don't find out until the car is painted and going back together.  Saw this in a shop 2 weeks ago and the upper fold down brackets were not in the correct place on the wheel well



Green- Brackets that screw to the body and hold interior panels. Not certain of the two in the upper right

Red - Fastback package area brackets

Light blue- Bracket that attaches to the passenger side trap door opening. Engages with the arm on the trap door to keep it open

Dark blue - these look like the screw on brackets that will attach to the two rear roof panels that go overhead on a fastback

Yellow - These appear to be the sun visor brackets that weld to both front corners of the roof above the headliner

Orange - Rear bottom seat cushion brackets that weld to the floor


This is one of the reasons I don't build cars with rust

The top pair looks like they may be for the top rear edge of the rear seat lower section -  The form sort of a hook with the bottom end (once attached) open where the frame of the lower section slides into and is held between the "hook"/bracket and the floor of the car.

Pictures is not great can't make out the one on the bottom of that group

The dark blue are for the rear over head panel as you speculated. The green ones in the upper right are interior panel attachment points at the beltline just behind the doors. Please excuse the extra red oxide primer, courtesy of a P.O.

Yes, the top ones are as you described. I don't have a photo showing the entire bracket, just the hooked ends peeking out below the seatback material.

I don't recognozie the bottom one either, but it appears to be the same design as the one on the far left in the lower left green box.
