I have read in other posts of numbers or words written on different components of cars, but I have not encountered it on my 68 FHC until recently. When removing the seats to do some repairs on the recline mechanism I noticed a word scrawled on the metal seat base - I can’t make out what it is (or even in what orientation it should be read!). I also noticed that both seats have a pattern of staples where the material is tacked to the wood part of the base - it is in the shape of an M or W. Neither the location or arrangement of these staples seems to be necessary to secure the fabric, so I assume they are intended to represent a letter. Has anyone encountered this pattern of staples? And can anyone decipher the scrawl on the metal base?
David I just pulled a set of seats apart from my '67 coupe. They were original, and really worn out. The staples were like wire staples, both thinner and smaller than the ones shown, I suspect yours are more modern - they are like the ones I used to re upholster the seats.
