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?

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.
