I found a good deal on some new seat covers. They are for a 70-71. Wil they work on my 75 seats? Thanks

Hi P,
Hold on!
I'm looking at the catalogue and there's a different number for 75 compared to 74….. but they look the same and the instructions to install them are the same.
I'm trying to find the difference!

After the issues I had last year with covers I went through a lot of this

The 75 also has different seat foam (one year only) than the 74 and back or the 76+

I know the 76 did away with the shoulder area bezel but I can't say with certainty what the difference was 74 to 75

Hi,
This is the difference I see in the catalogues.
I don't know what it is?
The remainder of the covers look the same.

If you were to have a problem using them, it would likely be with the bottom cover.

The seat back foam is the same for all 70-75 seats, but the 70-74 seat bottom foam is different than the 75-78's. I'm not exactly sure what is different about the bottom cushion, but I'm assuming that it's shaped or cut a little differently.

I'd say that worse case, you might have to buy a new pair of 70-74 bottom cushion foam, at $60 each. With 40 year old seats, you may want to replace the foam anyway.

Alan, I think what you see there is just something wrapped around the seat side hinge, to protect the chrome on freshly restored seats.

The 68-74 seat side hinge is different than the 75-78, but the difference is the size of the hole that the hinge bolt goes through, not the side hinge itself. The 75-78 hinge bolts, have a larger head than the 68-74 bolts.
