Default 75 seats in a ZTT

Hi all. I used to own a mk1 75 Connie. The seats were amazingly comfortable, but when I replaced with my mk1 ZTT, I couldn’t swap them over as ZTT seats were manual and there was no wiring to use.

I really want some comfortable seats in my ZTT, manual of course. What are my options (cheap) as all 75 seats seem to be electric?

Hi Eddie.
Its not that hard to put in the loom for electric seats, i have a couple of sets of loom for the electric seats.

If you had a saloon these would be an excellent buy.

What seat do you have in at the moment then leather or cloth.

That was the plan an unfortunately had to scrap those exact seats!
Big Russ who’s forgotten more than I’ll ever know, was helping to swap them, but it was an old style fuse box and was going to turn into a real can of worms.
I’m hoping to either find a set which are manual, or maybe bring something in from a different manufacturer which will fit?

I fitted a set of electric seats in place of manuals without any major issues... I also had no harness but made one up and took the main supply from the towing output and found a switched live from somewhere behind the dash.
