Are pre-1955 oval seats valid for a 1952 split?

[ruvwen]

Hi all, I am looking for a set of seats for a 52 split. My understanding is that pre-55 oval seats are basically the same as the split ones.

Of course the upholstery is different, but other than that, are there any other differences between 53-54 oval seats and 52 split seats?

Many thanks!
Rubén

The seat backs on Split cars have a more severe arch to them. Seat bottoms are the same

I posted a few pix of the difference here in some other thread a few years ago.

And a comparison picture into this thread too:

Also different type pf springs in the backrest in them. Can be seen in the thread posted above.

Since this topic has been covered, I have decided to lock it in favor of the older thread.

I added the older thread to the FAQ.

Locked.
