KentvetteukHi. I'm about to replace the damaged (and in one case missing!) rubber cushions that meet the adjuster bolts at the bottom of the seat backs on our '78.
I noticed that the bolts on our car have a lock-nut on them. However, the AIM does not show a lock nut, only the washers that I also have.
Does anyone else have the lock nuts on these bolts, of is an addition by a previous owner? I'll need to alter the adjustment bolts when the new cushions go on and ideally I need the space that the lock nut is taking! But, I'm not sure if maybe I need the lock nuts.
Thanks!

My 72 doesn't have any lock nuts and my AIM is the same pic as yours.
KentvetteukThanks. So I assume that they don't turn by themselves over time then. That was the only reason I could see for fitting the lock nuts.
I want to eliminate the nuts as I'll need a little bit more adjustment when the new cushions go on.
LenWoodruffNo lock nuts on my 78

Mine are pretty old and easy to turn. I think they do turn a little by themselves with use.
