Looks like my mattress  when I was in Air Force in 1967

Thanks,

Decent shape, but they still need the full treatment. Couldn't resist seeing how they fit together, how they work with the power unit.

That sounds nice and smooth Mark! Great job!

I only have a six way metal panel Carl. Images of the 4 way strato switch sidepanel are few. I saw a 4 way on ebay for $80. Nope.

The trim in the vid is a 6 way from the Strato Bench. It is far from matching a 4 way as you can see my hand holding the top of the switch (otherwise I'd have it secured). The 4 way switch mounting holes are narrower on center than the 6 way. 

My plan is to blank 1 hole and drill 2 in the metal 66 non power sidetrim to mount the switch 

Anyway, here's a good image of a 4 way side trim and accompanying unobtainable track skirt.

I think all CP B body power Strato's 66 to at least 69 had the "Behind" switch. Olds, Buick and Cadillac Strato may have had the external mount, or armrest style.

About 10 years ago I grabbed the front power seat mechanisms out of a 69 Sedan de Ville.  It had a 60/40 split front seat, 8 ways on each side (I think 8 ways, they had the joy stick and 2 switches) and I figured the mechanisms would work for my 70 B-body.   While I tested and made sure the mechanisms worked, I've never checked if they'd bolt to the floor or if the seats would bolt to them.     Unfortunately I broke the track skirts when removing.

I've got the big centre hole done, and the two screw holes done. I'm just staring at the switch and the panel now, trying to figure out the best way to make those two rectangular holes. I don't like the jig saw idea, they're pretty rough for such a delicate hole. Anyone have any ideas?

I may just end up drilling a hole and using a flat file. Tedious but I can make a lot nicer job that way I think.

          I was going to recommend to drill a hole close in size, then use a smaller size square profile file.

         I've done something similar hundreds of times (carriage bolt holes in     metal). I wouldn't use a power tool. I actually like using hand tools for work like this.

                   I always drill a hole TOO large  and then quit and go in house...

drill the hole and then finish with the flat and square file.

I, like Darryl prefer hand tools for the finer jobs...a good quality file will clean that up in no time !

 or you if you had time,money and the equipment you could drill a square hole.
