MG TD TF 1500 - Seat bottom mounting hinge

Does anyone have an idea about why there are hinges at the front of the seat mounting frame/slide assembly?

I'm assuming you are speaking of a TF. That allows you to swing the seat forward for better access to the rear of the seat. Especially when you are installing the toneau cover. I think the real reason is to get to the loose change that falls out of your pocket.

Good day Mark!
So you can vacuum, of course? Also it could be like the seat on a farm tractor, they tilt forward to let the water run off? Hope this helps, John

Think they are on the TD runners as well (if i remember correctly).... right by the bolt through the floor.

Considering the size of the cockpit, it always amazes me i have the amount of adjustment i have.... tilted seat back, sliding seat bottom and movable steering wheel... Hmmm.... everything is as far back as it can go, and the wheel forward and its still a tight fit!!!! The '53 Brit Designers must have all been 5'4"
