What's under the passenger seat of a front entry coach?

[Curt Sprenger]

Eric,

I had the same wondering thoughts as I removed the passenger seat mounting plate in our '87 'Bird. Much to my surprise, after installing the wood floor, the seat plate/bolts tightened right up as they (hope) should. The nuts must be anchored (welded) form under. I may have purchased slightly long bolts to do the re-install.

My air operated step well cover board needs to be repaired. The

bearings (looks like a drawer slide mechanism) that keep it running

straight are shot. I pulled the passenger seat today but I am now

faced with the next step which appears to be to remove the metal ??

plate that the passenger seat mount to, above the step well sliding

board.



Has anyone ventured into this area of the coach? Without knowing how

this plate is fastened to the coach I will likely have to pull the

carpeting from this plate to find the fasteners. I hate to pull up the

carpeting in this area because I won't be able to match it.



Does anyone have any tips to remove the passenger seat mounting plate?

Once I get that plate up the repairs should be pretty straight forward.
