    Left hand and right hand do exist in swb, photo below is of the original pair out of my '68T.

    I believe it was the swb Recaro sports seats that went on them that were not handed i.e. as you sit in the seat, back rest adjustment on lhs and for/aft adjustment handle exiting from the front of rhs lower bolster.

    Exactly - bases have the tilt handle on the door side, seats are the same on both sides.

    Holy asymmetry, Batman! You're right; I examined my '67 bases closely - one has been craftily modified to mimic the '68 bases. Who woulda thunk it?
