        I think the seat bottoms with the recesssion is the right one for
        your `4. The seats (left and righ) are not identical. One hinges 
        at the backrest, the other does not. I can't remember exactly which 
        (I traded mine for a set of early TR6 seats because of the comfort 
        or lack thereof with the original seats).

        BTW, pencil me in for your "do" on the 11th... Should I bring 
        anything with me? (I have an excellent video of the 1981 SCCA 
        D Prod race with Denny Wilson (in Paul Newman's old TR6) giving 
        Doc Bundy (in a 944 Porsche) a really hard time... It's all ESPN 
        footage with the broadcast bits and the stuff they cut out.
