Isn't it amazing the more you look into something, the more you learn it's a minefield!
I hope someone out there has the "knowledge" on these. I've been trying to fit some dated 1955/56 to my pre Aug-55 seats but now believe that they are definately not intended for pre Aug-55 seats.
So I'm thinking the 1955/56 must mean 1956 model year car from Aug-55 on. However, that said I think the problem I'm seeing would be evident on the 30mm wider backrest Aug-55 on seats as well.
So this is where I'm at. Here's a side on shot of the 1955/56 dated Huls:
And here's a shot of a pair of 1954 dated Huls, you can probably see that the lower arm is a different shape near the black wheel:
The problem with the 1955/56 Huls is that on the pre Aug-55 seats they will damage the seat base due to the shape of them. See how they angle "in" towards the base:
As they have done here on the seat they were removed from:
The 1954 dated Huls are straight when viewed from the front and therefore will not interact (as much) with the seat base:
Found some photos of Huls installed to try and see what's going on. These have damaged the seat:
Where as these look to be much better:
These also look ok. On these though the lower arm is again a different design and the 1 v 2 bolt fixing question for the backrest becomes evident:
So can anyone tell me which Huls are correct up to Aug-55? And when the number of bolts changed or were introduced?
