I'm looking for two of the pegs, or spears, on the bottom of the rear seat legs, that clip into the spring loaded clips under the floor. 

Mine are missing from my rear seat and i would like to rebuild it back to original condition. 

Maybe someone has a completely roached out back seat with good spears that they would be prepared to cut off?

If you aren’t able to find any they should not be hard to reproduce. 







The “washer” is welded to the leg and the profile of the tang should not be hard to grind out of a pice of flat stock. Not sure if there is an insert in the leg or if it’s just welded to the leg, I really don’t think it would matter.

It's been awhile since I've seen one in person but just looking at it .....the end of a railroad spike might be something to start with (??)

Maybe somebody with both could chime in with a size comparison.

I've got some old spikes but no seat lugs to compare to.

When I was looking at it I thought two pieces of quarter inch flat stock with the sides welded up would be a good starting point. I’ll take some measurements and get back to you.

Thanks gents for the offer of info and dimensions. 

I already have dimensions and i can share these with anyone who needs. I am specifically looking for originals, and will only look to make my own if i can't locate originals that someone can spare.
