Title: 66 convt. rear seat back power top hoses
Post by: bryancobb on March 20, 2010, 04:05:07 PM

Hi all,
Does the rear seat frame (as shown) suppose to bear on the power top hydraulic lines.

Yes, but consider both configurations were used.  Not sure when the switch to the upper shelf was.  The '65 K convertible I'm restoring has the lines outward like yours.  Cloth tape was typically put down where the hoses pass through to the top cylinders.
