    I had this supplier saved on my computer, I don't remember for sure, but it may be the one I used---since I had it saved. At any rate they have what is needed at a reasonable price. They also have a forum for info.

    Seat Shell Brackets

    Lee,
    I sure appreciate your great documentation. I was looking at the front seat I got back from the upholsterer, and noticed the lower seat shells, near the hinges, flop around. I remembered your write-up, and saw the answer in your pictures - I am missing the brackets that attach the ends of the shells to the frame! I found the brackets for sale on ebay, so have them on order. Thanks for your great write-up!
    Thanks, Doug

    Sir, I have 55 2 door hard top with bench seat. The car did not have the hangers for the seat shells, I got new hangers for the back of the bench seat.
    just having hard time as to were to mount them.
    the big question is the front of the bench seat shell hangers for the shell, are they part of the bench seat frame? I don't have them on my frame.
    I don't think they're sold separate. if you can. can you send pics of that hanger from under the seat frame, maybe I can make some.

    Sorry Jake, I'm not familiar enough with the 55 seat, but I think the bottom of the seat is the same as the 57, but even if that is true the seat shell brackets could be different. I hope someone else can help you out.
