48BuickRoadConv Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Does anyone have a picture or drawing of a hydraulic seat assembly that fits a 1948 Buick Roadmaster Conv.? I'm buying one, I have a picture of it but I don't understand how it could work, maybe it's missing a part/parts? Of course, it lacks a hydraulic cylinder thanks Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Here are some pictures of a 1949 Roadmaster hydraulic seat mechanism - a bit different. Not sure if that helps but I am going thru mine today to see if I can get the cylinder to move. The assembly bolts to the front of the seat frame with a single bolt that passes thru the two scissor parts and the cylinder end - all marked with red circles here since it apart. The fluid pushes the cylinder rod out and that moves the seat forward. Push the switch the other way, forward, and it opens the valve to let the fluid out and the springs pull it backwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dan, this helped to understand a bit further /Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
