I am adding a Mahagony back seat to my Nauset. When i first came on this site I remember seeing a posting where the poster had built one and had a pair of chrome or SS hinges on it that locked so that you could fold the seatback forward down so the motor cleard when it was tilted up. Anybody know where I can find a pair of those hinges?

OEM Parts Photos link on the left sidebar also shows the original style Locker Hinges which appear to be identical to what Tim shows above.

thanks for the info but those aren't the hinges I was looking for. I have a couple of sets of those that I used for my RPS re-build.
The hinges I was looking for were used on the slatted seat back to mount to the seat bottom. They loscked in place but had a release on them so the seat back could be folded down. I did see them here a long time ago. I believe that it was on a re-build job that a guy out west did for his son's Whaler. I guess I eill keep looking but thanks for the help anyway.

By entering "seat hinge lock" into the search field I found 12 hits.

Could this be the thread?
