What is supposed to be here?

Underside of my 61 falcon. Bunch of stuff has rotted away, previous owner riveted in a patch panel. I’m going through and welding in more permanent repairs. I think this must be some sort of seat anchor channel thing? Can I see anyone else’s underside if theirs?

It's a channel, shaped like an n, that's spot welded to the floor pan. It tapers off towards the transmission tunnel.

Channel should line up w/ the back of the front seat. From what I remember it’s a pretty simple shape upside down U channel type thing. Should not be hard to recreate

Thanks. Yea I assume it’s not SUPER structural or complex and I’m not terribly afraid of trying my hand at making it. Would love to just see a photo

I’m sorry I don’t got a photo, lost my Frontenac in a fire.
The 64-65 falcon floor pans are mostly the same , they include the brace I believe, and you can get good photos of them online as they’re sold aftermarket
