Unless you want to be a CW, and stay with the original early style, then I suggest finding a 1972 or later set. The early style has the passenger seat as part of the wall covering. From 1972 they had individual adjustable bucket seats. This meant the wall covering was basically symmetrical. The seats were as well (essentially). This would require new seat mounting hardware to be added. Did they already swap the seat mounts?

I really do like the early single adjustable seat setup. Gives an old "vintage-racer" feel to the car driving.gif

Currently the driver's seat (RIGHT side) is fine: i believe they have merely transferred the seat from the Left side. The current passenger seat (LEFT side) appears to be put together with the original Rightside seat bottom and upright insert .

The late Backpad i have sourced needs to be re-upholstered anyway. So it wouldn't be too difficult to replicate an early backpad, MIRRORED. Will have to amalgamate the center and left side sections, incorporate a head restraint and re-cover.. within my upholsterer's skillset , at least i hope dry.gif
