Series 1, or series 2 seat?

[Johnz1971]

As I look around at re-upholstery kits, I see two different types, one with recline option or one without:

My z is a series one 12/70.  However, the seats do recline, albeit only a few inches.

But.. do they have a recline handle on the outside? if not they brobably are type 1's... i think..

Yup, those are Series One seats pictured and you need the "Type 1" cover described as "non-reclining". The date range is the more important information here.

Personally, I would describe the Series One seat as "adjustable" and the later seat versions as "reclining" - as they do actually recline, not just slightly adjust the tilt of the back like the early seat design.

Thank you for the info!  "Adjustable" would be a better description than "non-recline".  

This will be the last thing i need for the interior.

 

Then, on to the body work.

Nice. My eldest son's favorite color for a Z - just because it's now so rare.
