Title: 67 San Jose Running change - Seat Track Plate
Post by: J_Speegle on June 27, 2020, 07:27:46 PM

Here we have another running change survey. This time focusing on the plates used to protect the carpet and the operation of adjusting the front seat(s) on 67 Mustangs built at San Jose. We can do the same if there is a request to do a similar for other plants if demand is there.


Below are the two identified versions. The upper two show the separate, individual plates inserted at each seat attachment point (front and rear) while the lower two pictures show the intergrated version of the plates attached to the seat track at the front and rear of each bracket.

For this survey only include 67 San Jose examples,

- Identify the car by the sequential. you can leave the last couple of numbers off if you wish

- Identify when the car was built or scheduled to be built while identifying which one the posted date is

- Style of seat/interior. Standard - Deluxe - Bench Just in case the change over is different from one another though since the seats were assembled at the car plant rather than at a subcontractor I don't think this will be an issue we need to cover the bases from the beginning


Thanks to all that took the time to read and to those that can offer solid data points.

So as of July 1, 2020 a survey of the subject and examples suggests that the change took place between the oldest (real build date) example with the individual plates (04C/May 4th ) and the earliest example with the integrated plates (11C/May 11th)

My car listed in the signature has the separate plates.  Interior decor buckets.

My  SJ Shelby has the separate plates.The seat tag indicates the seats probably came off of this car.

 Thanks guys. Just posted my findings. Pretty narrow change over date/week at this point. Deluxe and standard interior differences have not shown up and as mentioned I really didn't anticipate one since the seats were assembled on site rather than at some sub contractor as we've seen in pictures of seat assembly in the 68 San Jose plant pictures we have posted on the site.
