I assume you are asking about the seat bottom. Starting in very late 71, there was a clear (now yellowed) release strap added to release the rear seat bottom. This release strap came up out of the seam at the upper rear of the cushion; there is about an inch there with no stitches. Your best bet is to find someone else with a 72-3 that you can inspect VERY carefully, hopefully have side by side with your car. Once you figure out what this strap was connected to you can reach down through your seam and snag it with a wire hook and release the seat. There is, however, another possibility. I have seen the seat belts get caught in the catch mechanism. In this case the seat is not actually latched down, instead it is just jammed. All you need to do to release it is to get your hand down between the seat bottom and back until you can grab the rear edge of the seat botton firmly. Then give it a good hard yank and it may just pop up.

I will try to configure my Dad's computer to check my email from there, but I don't know yet if I will succeed. If you don't hear from me, don't worry, I'll be back soon. If I do manage to get online from there, I still won't have most of my references with me, so please bear with me as I will be responding strictly from memory. Of course I will be driving one of my Type 3s there and back.

Master Cylinder! Message-ID: <35D5F453.E0D46A68@compassnet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Howdy: Last week I sent a post about my 70' Square brakes acting up. It would stop OK but no matter how hard you pressed all you would get is a sinking pedal. I thought it was just brake fade from our 100 F. Texas heat. Well, today I was installing my new rear brake drums (The originals were quite marginal, got new ones that fit perfectly) and I got those on, adjusted the rear brakes and then adjusted the emergency brake ala Bentley. I got in the car to take it for a spin and what happened? The brake pedal went almost all the way to the floor and took forever to stop! And to make matters worse, the brake warning light came on too! As I c-a-r-e-f-u-l-ly got the Squareback put back in the garage I started checking for broken hoses, etc. No leaks. I noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was about 1/4 of the way down. So I remember some time ago someone had a M/C leaking fluid under the carpet inside the car. Pulled back carpet, and what did I find? Brake fluid around the brake and accelerator pedals! What a mess! Got most of it cleaned up (it seemed to soak into the tar board too) so I put a bunch of paper toweling between the carpet and the tar board hoping the brake fluid will "wick" into the paper toweling. Has this happened to anyone before? Lastly, is the correct dual circuit master cylinder still available? The one in the Square is only 2 years old, the PO sent the paperwork with the car. Does the master cylinder appear to be a common problem with Type 3's?
