Seat latch operation

[Katfish]

70 Challenger, no idea if seats are original.  This car is a mix of parts.

My seat back has never latched, it just goes forward with no need to push the release.

Am I missing something on the lower seat portion?  What exactly does the seat back latch to?

Anyone have a pic of a disassembled seat to show how the latch mechanism should look/ work?

Yeah: Your'e missing the latch stuff. Someone here will have a photo to show you what you are missing.

Sorry I don't have a picture but you might want to remove that baggy with the white powder substance......    law enforcement might get excited if you got pulled over?

Good eye, I need that to pay for this expensive Mopar "habit"..........

Something like this.

Thx for the pic, that makes sense.
So I'm missing the catch on the seat bottom.

But I don't feel any kind of hook in the seat back either.

Any chance someone has a pic of what the assembly that connects to the release button looks like?

Next step is to post a wanted ad, what to figure out what is all needed.

Next question will be, is the HW the same for all years?
Probably even the same as a B-body seat?

Some pics here of what you need, albeit reproduction parts.

Thx! I would have never thought that would be reproduced.

Anyone have the size/type of the mounting bolts for the latch?

Unfortunately these are not included in the kit.
