Seat bracket placement.
Hello everyone, can anyone help with dimensions on the place for all the rear seat brackets and wiring hold downs. All my pics have disappeared on me, and my old floors are long gone to the scrap yard. Thanks fir any help.

I only recognize three seat bottom brackets in your picture. My car is a convertible and may have different seat back brackets. This is a picture of the rear floor pan, before restoration on my car. I also can't help you with the wire hold downs as none were in my car when I got it.

I attached a couple of pictures of the rear floor of my 67 hardtop. I don't have measurements for you, but it should give you a decent idea of placement. A couple of notes... I circled the place where the seat-back hanger comes through the trunk panel in red, as it's hard to see. Second, I covered the seat belt bolt-holes with tape (the white patches) to keep the spray adhesive out of them during install of insulation. I hope that the pictures help.

Thank you both for the info and pics, but my car is a 66, and has the different anchoring brackets. I'm not sure if the seat would still latch into the 67 and bracket or not. I would think the would, because I have always thought the 64-67 rear seats would interchange with the same body style, maybe I'm mistaken?? I attached a picture of the 66 style anchor bracket.

You are correct in as far as the rear seat anchoring variations.
'67 changed over to a better push and lock configuration and the bottom frames do differ. First two images are '66 followed by '67 for reference.

Ok, so the seats are slightly different, but do they still clip in like they're supposed to? And are the 67 style brackets better/function easier than the 66? And does anyone have any dimensions for either style, and the seat back hold down bolt brackets? Thank you to all who have already lended their knowledge, it is much appreciated!

Not really, My OE bottom rear seat frame was in need of some repair back when we recovered the seats.
I had a '67 bottom in great shape so I used it. It doesn't lock into the '66 floor retainers but stays in place. I've contemplated searching for the correct '66 bottom over the years but never perused one.
