Fitment & Restoration Considerations

Before sourcing a replacement, evaluate the following:

Seat Frame Condition


  • If the base frame structure is sound, recovering the existing seat may be more practical than sourcing a complete new assembly
  • This option significantly changes sourcing requirements and cost

Restoration Level


  • Numbers-matching restoration: Requires NOS (new old stock) or very careful reproduction components
  • Driver rebuild: Can accommodate quality reconditioned components

Specific Issues to Identify


Determine which component requires attention:
  • Headrest mechanism failure
  • Foam deterioration
  • Cover damage
  • Complete assembly replacement needed
Fitment Warning: The 1969 TR6 headrest mechanism is specific to this model year. The headrest design changed in 1970. Verify year-specific fitment before purchasing any assembly or components.
