#1 Series 2 OTS Seats

Post by JC » Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:29 pm

I've taken my seats apart - to clean up the leather and the reclining mechanisms. When doing this I noted that the bottoms (of the seats) were not symmetrical - no problems there then!! Re-assembling the seats, I noticed that the backs (of the seats) are also slightly not symmetrical - and yes, so I'm not sure which way around they go

So, I guess I've got two questions - are the backs symmetrical and, if not, which way round should they be fitted?

Cheers, JC

I think the backs and indeed the cushions are arranged so that when you push the seats forward to lower the hood , they move slightly inwards at the top to clear e.g. the screen pillar bases

I recall that the backs are identical = interchangeable R or L, however the ratchets and springs are not (being "symmetrical" R and L). In fact, to be correct, the seats are also "symmetrical".

My series 2 seat bottoms have a slight angle on the front corner where they sit against the console.
