Rear Gaucho

[T McManus]

I have a friend putting a 77 back together. Previous owner left the interior taken apart. I have been looking for pictures or any description on how
the rear Gaucho seating mounts. The only thing I have found is the Side facing settee drawing in the assembly manual, it's not very revealing. If
anyone can give me a description or pictures of how the folding seats are mounted, I would appreciate it.

Mounting only requires 2 - 1.5" aluminum angles about 30" long. One
fastens to the wall behind the gaucho only high enough for the 1"
gaucho frame to slide beneath it. That holds it down. On the front, top
surface, behind where the front gaucho frame sits, the other angle is
fastened. This angle has 2 holes in it, facing out, with large tinnerman
nuts attached (1/4 or 5/16?). These holes align with the holes drilled
through the gaucho front 1" frame member. This holds the gaucho from
sliding out by the fasteners.

I think I still have those angles around here someplace if you want them.
But cheaper to obtain locally and drill a few holes.

Oh, 1/8" x 2" angles.
